Novel IDF Importer

EP3 is the only EnergyPlus user interface that supports import of complete Energyplus (IDF) files, including complex HVAC systems. IDF import opens a wide range of options including:

• Migrate models from other tools
• Inspect models created by other simulation engines or parties
• Import example files or stock building files for large-scale studies
• Create fully-customizable templates
• Import IDF files in whole or part for new model creation

*
Dynamic Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs)

EP3 was designed with EEMs at its core.

• Eliminate multiple files for the same project
• No Limit on the number or type of EEM in the model
• Toggle objects on or off in EEMs
• Change any input using the regular user interface
• No Scripting Required

*
Intelligent HVAC System Creation and Editing

EP3 facilitates the generation of HVAC systems, without obscuring the underlying EnergyPlus structure.

• Visualize all systems and connections in one frame
• Generate Connections using a graphical user interface
• Leverage intelligent features that allow quick editing while preserving connectivity
• Facilitates understanding of EnergyPlus HVAC architecture

EP3 was born out of frustration with existing modeling tools. EnergyPlus was clearly the most powerful and flexible simulation engine, but we were frustrated with existing user interfaces. EP3 was originally developed as an in-house simulation tool and has been used to model hundreds of buildings.

We dreamed of a tool that leveraged the power of computers to do the detailed, repetitive work and freed energy modelers to do what they do best – model buildings.
