Utility Routines/Functions[LINK]

EnergyPlus supplies an extensive set of routines to help module developers get input, check values, get schedule values, get and check nodes. These are summarized in the following table and in more detail in the following sections. The table indicates the routine/function name, times of most likely use, and the module (if applicable) that you must USE in the code in order to make the routine available to you. Most of the items mentioned in this table are of particular use in “GetInput” processing. A few later tables will highlight similar functions/routines for simulation purposes.
