Thanks for confirming the above information, very helpful.

I note that the 2021 consultation verson of SBEM has been released - just wondering if you are planning on having a VE Compliance DSM equivalent? i.e. VE Compliance 2021 in the interim to test the impact of the changes within IES-VE, rather ...

Hi Swinners,

We would like to do this also and haven't really invested much time into developing it.

What software do you use for SAP? We use Elmhurst Design SAP and are attempting to push them to developing the GbXML reader process.

Hi,

What is the process for working with modules that are not contained within the VE Python virtual environment?

Is there a way I can access them within VE Scripts? Or can we ask to include a module and it be included in a hotfix of some sort?

I am after OpenPyxl to be included, as I am hitting ...

Hi Rhind,

I am after this functionality also - without the ability to edit air exchanges and internal gains, we are being forced to use a mix and match approach for setting data in the VE, which undermines a lot of the potential use cases for VE scripts.

Hi Rhind / bbrannon4,

Appreciate the support.

Boost.Python.ArgumentError: Python argument types in
ResultsReader.get_room_results(ResultsReader, str, str, str, int, int)

Hi,
I am undertaking a thermal comfort assessment of a library building under different occupancy patterns.

As I am a beginner to IES-VE I have been unable to find out whether the components modeled with the component modeler and inserted into ModelIt affect the volume of the room.

My problem is ...

Hi,
I am completing a thermal comfort assessment of a university library building, particularly looking at overheating during a high occupancy event.

The building is a mix of academic books and work stations for students, with some rooms entirely just work stations and large open spaces a mix of ...
