Converting imf files[LINK]

The transition/conversion programs can “automatically” transition imf (ep-macro) files. One note of caution: if your macro file contains #if statements in the form:

PEOPLE,
    ZONE ONE,                !- Zone Name
##if #[DoSizing[] EQSU Y]
    #[FAREA[] / OCCDENPEAK[]],        !- Number of People
  ##else
    #[FAREA[] / OCCDENAVG[]],         !- Number of People
##endif
    OCCSCHED[],       !- Number of People SCHEDULE Name (real--fraction)
    0.5000000,        !- Fraction Radiant
    Activity Sch;     !- Activity level SCHEDULE Name (units W/person, real)

They should look like this:

##if #[DoSizing[] EQSU Y]
PEOPLE,
    ZONE ONE,                !- Zone Name
    #[FAREA[] / OCCDENPEAK[]],       !- Number of People
    OCCSCHED[],       !-   Number of People SCHEDULE Name (real--fraction)
    0.5000000,        !- Fraction Radiant
    Activity Sch;     !- Activity level SCHEDULE Name (units W/person, real)
  ##else
PEOPLE,
    ZONE ONE,                !- Zone Name
    #[FAREA[] / OCCDENAVG[]],        !- Number of People
    OCCSCHED[],       !- Number of People SCHEDULE Name (real--fraction)
    0.5000000,        !- Fraction Radiant
    Activity Sch;     !- Activity level SCHEDULE Name (units W/person, real)
##endif
