Updated EP-Quick to be compatible with the latest version of EnergyPlus. This was mostly just updating the version object and a few report variable names. The bigger news is now EP-Quick is free. It is fully functional and requires no registration or payment.
Found and fixed another bug. This time when editing a numeric input and pressing the "New" button (while still in edit mode) caused a crash. The fix is in the latest download.
If you were not able to access the help system in last week's release, please download the latest version and try it out.
EP-Quick has been updated to write files compatible with the latest version of EnergyPlus, version 1.2.3. It will still write EnergyPlus 1.2.1 and EnergyPlus 1.2.2 files if you select that option.
Please download and try out EP-Quick. It is one of the first interfaces for the EnergyPlus building energy simulation program. The download is a demo until purchased and registered. With the demo all features are available except for creating an IDF file for building with more than three sides. Once registered, IDF files can be created for all the templates avaible. Many templates are available for common shaped buildings. Thanks to the many people who helped finding bugs with the beta version.
Please participate in the second beta test of EP-Quick. EP-Quick is a simple program that creates an EnergyPlus input file. You may use EP-Quick to create an input file for a building, without HVAC, using simple templates for the shape and zone layout. EP-Quick is not a full interface for EnergyPlus but simply a way to generate input files quickly. Go to download to get the latest version.
