Re: [TRNSYS-users] Conversion of IDFs between Energy+ and TRNSYS

Hey Adam, any luck?

TRNSYS produced IDF is not quite valid in E+ model language, it should open, but the fields are not all within the E+ grammar (Energy+.idd).

Can you open the fol. in E+ IDF Editor?
\Trnsys17\Examples\3D_Building\2_Step_Import_Studio\Building.idf

This should at least open. You will have the geometry and a start with the logic of spaces and boundary conditions, but will have to make some changes;
- Surface boundary conditions should be updated
- Materials & constructions added
- Etc.

You'll probably want to delete the rest and try to merge it with a simple example file found in E+. If you need to do this to many files, I can help with a parsing script.

Cheers,

Marcus

Hi all,

I appreciate this might have been answered in the forum in the past.
I have to (unfortunately) take my first foray into EnergyPlus modelling.
I have a TRNSYS IDF file (produced by the TRNSYS3D plugin) that I'd like to convert to an Energy+ IDF file.

Does anyone have experience doing this. I know TRNSYS3D is based off OpenStudio, but I can't quite figure out any way to reformat my TRNSYS IDF so that it works with Energy+

Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Adam
