Data Sets¶

EnergyPlus uses snippets of IDF files to create the library of data that may be useful for you. Two folders are created upon installation: DataSets -- which contains IDF snippets and MacroDataSets -- which also contain IDF snippets but are in a form such that they can be easily used with the EPMacro program. Another data set are DDY files that accompany each EPW weather file. The DDY files include several varieties of the corresponding design day data for each weather file location.
