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
