[Bldg-sim] LEED simulation in energy plus

[Andy Tindale]

DesignBuilder v4 can't import IDF but this is something we expect to add in the not too distant future.

So as Gurneet says, it is best to prepare geometry in DesignBuilder. It can of course export IDF.

If DesignBuilder can import and IDF, that's a very new feature that I was unaware of.  (I think you should confirm it.)

Hi,

If you are planning to do the final calculation/model in Design builder , then it is better to prepare the geometry in design builder itself. Preparing geometry is not that tough in DesignBuilder.

Hi,

it seems that idf files can be import to designbuilder.You can develope geometry model in openstudio and export idf file,then import the idf file into Designbuilder.



hope this help!

Dear Modelers,

I am going to do calculation for LEED (EA P2 and EA C1) using EnergyPlus. I
am new in this software, but I get license for DesignBuilder.

Could you write me what is difference (difficulty level, future
possibilities) between building modeling in OpenStudio and  DesignBuilder?
I mean: is it easier to draw in OpenStudio, but e.g. HVAC development is
nicer in DesignBuilder...?

Could I model building in OpenStudio (envelope), but later work on it in
DesignBuilder (and vice versa)?

Thanks in advance for your hints and tips!!!
Regards,
Karol Bandurski
