specific data/info from DOE-2.2 output file<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV style="COLOR: #000000">
<P>Is anyone aware of a software tool/product or another means by which to
easily extract/parse information found in the DOE-2 output/sim file? The
e-QUEST-produced reports are helpful for summing up the results, but I would
like to have quicker access to other information for
calibrating/verifying/questioning my models. For instance, it'd be great
to extract # of hours underheated or cooled, or perhaps I'd like to extract the
DOE-2 -sized cfm or capacity values. With a lot of zones/systems this
becomes a tedious task to deal with manually.</P>
<P>Any suggestions for a good method of doing this? I know some have
written VBA to this end, but is that limited in flexibility or easily adaptable
to all models (i.e. changing # of rooms affects line # in output file)?
Any help would be much appreciated.</P>
<P>Regards,</P>
