Hi everyone,

I am currently working on the development of a web application to assess the whole building energy performance using EnergyPlus. The goal is to post-process the EnergyPlus outputs and calculate energy performance indicators used on Energy Performance Certificates (EPC).

Normally, to create and modify the building geometry inputs for the energy model, I use SketchUp Make with the Euclid Extension, which outputs an IDF file to be edited on IDF Editor. However, as this application is for non-commercial usage, I wanted to know if there is any other way to create the building geometry without the user having to input all the coordinates without any graphical interface. The solution could be an open-source graphical interface, to be embedded in the user interface or a way to input dimensions instead of coordinates.

Thank you in advance,
João Tiago Homem
