Why is Openstudio 1.14 simulation time twice as long as with EnergyPlus ?
I have compared simulation times of an osm-model and of the corresponding OpenStudio export idf-model:
The OpenStudio version (osm) took 03:59:23 (hours::minutes:seconds) while the EnergyPlus version (idf) took 01:53:13 for simulating one full year. I expected a slight overhead by running simulations with OpenStudio but this seems excessive and probably unnecessary.
- What can developers say to explain this behavior ?
- Can this be avoided in future releases ?
UPDATE (due to questions in comments): I took an OSM and ran it through the OS App 1.14 ; then I took that same OSM, exported to IDF, and ran the IDF with EP-launch. The run times to be compared are those given in the respective err files.
