This simple post processing utility may be useful when doing parametric analyses. It takes a CSV (comma separated values file) and performs some simple statistics. It is a very small application with no interface. It is typically executed from the command line.
Open a DOS command prompt window (Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt)
Change to the directory where EnergyPlus is installed (modify the commands below if you did not install EnergyPlus in the default install path):
C:
CD \<root folder></span>
- Change to the specific folder for the coefficient conversion applications:
CD PostProcess
- Run the program:
CSVproc <filename>
Where <filename> is the name of a CSV file, including extension. There is a simple readme.txt file in the folder. The program performs some simple statistics on each column and creates a new file with the same name without extension and -PROC.CSV added to the name.
The statistics performed on each column are:
SUM
MAX
MIN
AVERAGE
COUNT
COUNTIF > 0
COUNTIF > 5
COUNTIF > 10
COUNTIF > 15
COUNTIF > 20
COUNTIF > 25
COUNTIF > 30
COUNTIF > 35
COUNTIF > 40
COUNTIF > 45
COUNTIF > 50
COUNTIF > 55
COUNTIF > 60
COUNTIF > 65
COUNTIF > 70
COUNTIF > 75
COUNTIF > 80
COUNTIF > 85
COUNTIF > 90
COUNTIF > 95
COUNTIF > 100
COUNTIF = 1
COUNTIF < 19.9
COUNTIF > 24.0
Obviously, not all statistics are relevant for every output report variable. The average is based on the sum divided by the number of non-blank rows. The average is not based on the length of time for that timestep. Due to this, CSVproc is best suited for an hourly output file.
