Output File List[LINK]
Following are the native file names that are output from EnergyPlus; native – directly out of EnergyPlus. Usually you will not see these file names as batch files and interfaces will change them to be <file name>.<ext> or in some instances <file name><qualifier>.<ext>. Usually the extension is the important piece and is described in the following table.
In addition to the basic output files from EnergyPlus there are three standard “hybrid” output files. These are called “hybrid” because they are a result of post-processing after EnergyPlus has completed. Note that if there is an error during processing, these will not normally be “complete”.
Now, each file will be described in more detail with some examples of use.
