Workspace Area 1: Data Template Naming/Selection

Workspace Area 2: Data Template Property Table

 

The Location Data Template allows the user to set or review the properties associated with a weather file.  The Property Values table contains a set of properties that present either a defined set of input value options that are available within EnergyPlus or allow the user to select Library Entries included in the active Source Library that have been created by them or are included with Simergy.

Property Values Table

The table below maps the drop down list sources for each row of the Value column in the property table.  It addresses two questions; 1) Where does the list shown come from? 2) What does the user need to go to add to the list or edit library entries?  The hyperlinks in the Value Sources column go to the description of the library category.  

Tip: If a value source is not included it means the field is predefined selections determined by EnergyPlus, and cannot be edited by the user in Simergy.
