Hi,
I'm working with EnergyPlus and Eppy for a project at university. I've got an example file to run within spyder, although I don't get any results. Is there a way to print the results?
Thanks Ben Sykes
As far as I know Eppy doesn't include any results viewing capability. Check the run folder, you should have the HTML, SQL (if requested), etc. You can query these using python but you'll need to write your own code.
You can also look at the HTML in your browser, and you could view the SQL file in a third party tool such as DView, which comes with OpenStudio or in standalone version here
Here's the documentation for viewing outputs: https://eppy.readthedocs.io/en/latest...
Is there a way to change the name of the output files when running energyplus simulation use eppy? The default name is eplusout, it will be great if another name can be assigned. Thanks
@Amy Lee, read the docs: https://eppy.readthedocs.io/en/latest... or just do help(idf.run)
Pass output_prefix, eg idf.run(output_prefix='myfile')
Thank you :)

Define results? Do you want to inspect the IDF file after modification? Or are you talking about the simulation results?
Sorry Julien, I mean the simulation results. The file seems to run, but I get nothing in the terminal or the console. Sorry for the confusion, still learning the system. Thanks Ben
Normally I use
esoreaderto parse the output while staying in the python ecosystem
