DataSets[LINK]

Akin to the libraries of other programs, EnergyPlus uses data sets. Data sets are similar to libraries but many items are contained in a single file (usually input file format or sometimes macro format). Developers are encouraged, as appropriate, to submit data sets along with new features. Some of the existing data sets include:

  • Materials properties
  • Construction elements (layers of materials)
  • Composite construction definitions (equivalent constructions for complex elements)
  • Solar Collector parameters
  • Economic Tariffs
  • Design Day definitions
  • Location definitions
  • Standard report definitions
