[Bldg-sim] Please test Corrie software - Early design ‘simple box’ modeling using EnergyPlus that directly creates a PowerPoint presentation

[Jason Glazer]

I am looking for people to test some software I am developing:

https://github.com/JasonGlazer/Corrie

Corrie is a software program for providing building design 
advice based on building performance simulation. It is 
intended for very early in the design process before even 
the building shape has been decided. The software may be 
used for ASHRAE Standard 209 Modeling Cycle #1 “Simple Box 
Modeling.” The software may be useful as part of a bid or 
before a charrette. It requires only a few inputs and uses 
EnergyPlus and OpenStudio to produce a series of simulations 
that explore how the building design is impacted by a 
variety of energy efficiency measures. Corrie creates a 
PowerPoint presentation based on the simulation results for 
the measures selected and options chosen. Each type of 
measure is shown as a graph on a slide with energy usage for 
each of the options selected. In addition, a slide with the 
end-use breakdown is included as well as a slide on the 
assumptions used.

Please let me know when you test it and if it works or how 
it doesn't.

Thanks

Jason
