Model Progress and QC checks for EP3

Hello Friends,

In my development work for EP3, I’m working on a project to integrate a QC script. This is especially necessary in EP3 because the UI is so flexible that some users need more guidance along the way.

The model checks some very basic things like:

  • does this model have at least one space?
  • are spaces fully enclosed by surfaces?
  • are there any interior constructions applied to exterior surfaces (or vis versa)

And it checks more complex things like:

  • checks PlantLoops for conflicting setpointmanagers
  • evaluates whether sizing design temperatures align with operating temperatures

I’m looking for input from all of you about the types of things that would be hepful to have a quick in-app validation for. What have you learned as expert modelers that you wish newer modelers knew to check in their models?

Here’s what it looks like now:

would love your thoughts and feedback.

Best,

Karen
