ExpandObjects source code

Is there any intent to open source the ExpandObjects tool for pre-processing IDFs?

I find myself occasionally wishing I could develop new HVACTemplate objects to suite my needs.

Thanks

The ExpandObjects source code is in a single Fortran 90 file called epfilter.f90. It can be seen at:

It was designed to make it extendable to new HVACTemplates.

Jason, I'm slightly confused... I was expecting those f90 files to have been converted to C++ with v8.2. Am I missing something?

The main focus of the conversion from Fortran to C++ was the main EnergyPlus program. Many utilities, like ExpandObjects, were not converted to C++.

Understood, thanks. Is there a plan to convert those at some point or will they remain in fortran?

We could do that. We have Stuart Mentzer (the man who translated EnergyPlus) under contract. Stay tuned.

Great! Glad I brought this up. I was confused by the f90 vs cpp issue as well
