Using VELocate() on model that isn't open

I'm working on a script to pull some data based on a selected annual results file. I'd also like to include some non-results file specific project metadata, sat latitude and longitude for example. In the show_location_and_weather.py example file it just references the model that's open, and I can't ...

Re: Exporting thermal loads results into excel file

Hello,

Do you have experience with Python? If not, you might need to do some general tutorials first.

If so, here are some code snippits that might help. Note these are from around one of my scripts and probably won't work on their own without a litte debugging, but I hope get you started ...

-> Numpy array of floats
Get the results for specified room + variable. See variables list for available variables ...

Re: The results obtained from `.get_results`

Are you looking for the peak input total number of people? What you are pulling right now are effectly outputs (the documentation, which I agree isn't clear, says it will return a numpy array of floats, which is a pretty good indicator that you are getting timestamp level outputs).

If I understand ...

Dates and times from load results/ python

Hello,

It seems that get_room_results() returns a numpy array that is not labeled. Does anyone have a way to access or infer the date and time from load results?


Thanks,
Ben

Mark ASHRAE Baseline Template

I'm not sure the best way to do this, but I'm just imagining some sort of drop down selection in a thermal template, to select another thermal template as the ASHRAE baseline.

Use case: many time the ASHRAE space groups aren't explicit enough for real modeling and loads. Healthcare is a good ...

Multiple spaces - merge

I'd love to be able to select more than two spaces and have them merge, even if in the background it's just doing two at once. It comes up in most projects and it a whole lot of clicks...
