[Bldg-sim] Twenty years of building simulation trends: Text mining and topic modeling of the BLDG-SIM email list archive

Fri Mar 8 16:28:05 PST 2019

Similarly openstudio and design builder use energyplus as a simulation engine...

Both, along with equest, are Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) to their respective simulation engines, but they are much more than this. They have their own logic in terms of pre processing (and user experience (UX)) and post processing / reporting. But both doe2 and energyplus can be used directly via text files (and IDF editor which I wouldn't call a GUI per se but technically is one)

It's always confusing when you speak about software and want to gauge user base for eg, you'll always run into these fine lines... Food for thoughts!

Happy 20th anniversary to bldg-sim!

I'm grateful for its existence as I have learned a ton in the past years and keep learning every day.
I moved most of my contributions to another platform that works very well for e+/openstudio but I still keep reading the list day to day.
I even still read the equest one for eg while I haven't used equest in the past 4 years as I often find very interesting software-agnostic contributions there!

Cheers,
Julien
