Unit Behavior

Simergy has the capability to display both Imperial (IP) and SI units, and the user can change the units of a model at any time by selecting File/Options and changing the User Interface Measure Units. The different Simergy workspaces, including Results Visualization conform to this global parameter. So, if a user changes the units it will change in all the Simergy workspaces.

Note: EnergyPlus only runs on SI units, so all IP units within a Simergy file are converted to SI units before the simulation is run.

Units in Simergy Files

When a user starts a new model in Simergy, IP units is the default.

When a user opens an existing Simergy model the units will be the units that the model was saved with previously. Example - if the project was last saved with SI units, when a user goes back to open that file, SI units will be the active units.
