Run IDF
Run an IDF file through EnergyPlus.
Inputs
idf [Required]
Path to an IDF file as a text string. This can also be a list of IDF files.
epw_file [Required]
Path to an .epw file as a text string.
add_str
THIS OPTION IS JUST FOR ADVANCED USERS OF ENERGYPLUS. You can input additional text strings here that you would like written into the IDF. The strings input here should be complete EnergyPlus objects that are correctly formatted. This input can be used to write objects into the IDF that are not currently supported by Honeybee.
cpu_count
An integer to set the number of CPUs used in the execution of each connected IDF file. If unspecified, it will automatically default to one less than the number of CPUs currently available on the machine (or 1 if only one processor is available).
run [Required]
Set to "True" to run the IDF through EnergyPlus. This input can also be the integer "2", which will run the whole simulation silently (without any batch windows).
Outputs

sql

zsz
Path to a .csv file containing detailed zone load information recorded over the course of the design days.
rdd
The file path of the Result Data Dictionary (.rdd) file that is generated after running the file through EnergyPlus. This file contains all possible outputs that can be requested from the EnergyPlus model. Use the Read Result Dictionary component to see what outputs can be requested.
html
The HTML file path of the Summary Reports. Note that this will be None unless the input sim_par denotes that an HTML report is requested and _run is set to True.
