This is a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file that shows a diagram of the HVAC system from the inputs of the simulation. The diagram is generated for most HVAC systems but a few valid HVAC configurations cannot be displayed correctly. The SVG file is generated by the HVAC Diagram utility that is included with EnergyPlus and is run automatically when using EP-Launch.
The SVG format is a graphics format that includes a descriptions of lines, boxes, text, etc. set in a two dimensional perspective. To learn more about the SVG format see:
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/
Several viewers are available so that you can view these files including plug-ins for Internet Explorer by Adobe and Corel. The Adobe SVG plug in can be found at:
http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/
But many different viewers are available and links are shown at:
An example of a diagram generated by HVAC Diagram is shown
!
A close up of one part of this diagram is shown below
!
The SVG file format is an XML based format so it is text based. The diagram shown above is shown below in text (reduced).
