What problem does it solve?

EnergyPlus IDF model analysis, QA/QC, and simulation workflows are complex, time-consuming, and often require specific environment setups (like Docker/MCP), leading to inefficiencies and errors. This Skill provides intelligent, environment-aware automation to streamline these processes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fast Pre-Simulation QA/QC: Performs rapid validation using direct IDF parsing (Python/eppy) in seconds, avoiding lengthy simulation failures.
  • Automated IDF Repair: Fixes common issues like corrupt ZoneHVAC:EquipmentList objects, field shifts, and IDF version mismatches.
  • HVAC System Analysis: Discovers and visualizes HVAC topology, aiding in understanding and troubleshooting complex systems.
  • ECM Testing: Facilitates parametric studies for energy conservation measures (e.g., lighting, envelope, schedules).
  • Use Case: "Run a quick QA/QC check on my 'model.idf' file to ensure it's ready for simulation, then fix any detected equipment list corruptions."

Quick Start
