Other Useful Utility Programs

The EnergyPlus install includes a variety of tools to help with various aspects of converting data or displaying information to help with using EnergyPlus

  • Coefficient Curve Generation - The CoeffConv and CoeffConv utility programs can be used to convert DOE-2 temperature dependent curves (Fahrenheit) to EnergyPlus temperature curves (Celsius). These programs are described in the Auxiliary Programs document.
  • HVAC Performance Curve Fit Tool - The CurveFitTool.xlsm spreadsheet generates performance curves for a set of tabular data as typically supply by manufacturers
  • HVAC-Diagram - Another post-processing program is the HVAC-Diagram application. It reads one of the EnergyPlus output files (eplusout.bnd) and produces a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file. Many web browsers and other drawing programs can open SVG files. This utility runs automatically with EP-Launch. More information on the HVAC Diagram program is found in the Auxiliary Programs document.
  • convertESOMTR - This simple post-processing program can be used seamlessly with EP-Launch to provide IP (inch-pound) unit output files rather than SI units. This program is described more fully in the Auxiliary Programs document.
  • WeatherConverter - Used to convert epw to csv format with column headings to inspection of the data.
