Common Questions

Account

There are two ways to share your model outputs: a view-only link and a commentable link.

  • To share a view-only link, simply click the Copy link button and email the link.
       
  • To receive comments on your model outputs, you need to invite reviewers via InverseHub. The reviewer will receive an email along with a 4-digit passcode.
       

No. To access InverseHub, your teammate can use either the View-only link or the Invitation link.

SimReader
  • eQEUST/DOE2 SimReader can read both ES-D (Energy Cost Summary) and PS-F (Energy End-Use Summary) reports without requiring any special setups.
    However, because of the limitation on the format of the ES-D report, the number characters for a meter name is limited to 4. The ES-D report can represent only the first 4 characters of the meter name while the PS-F doesn't have the limitation. A simple workaround is to use a meter name with less than 4 characters (e.g., EM1, EM1A, FM1). If the meter name has more than 4 characters, the first 4 characters should be unique.
  • EnergyPlus/OpenStudio SimReader reads part of LEED Summary, BUILDING ENERGY PERFORMANCE, and Tariff Report tables in the eplustbl.html file. Here is a basic setup for an EnergyPlus/OpenStudio user.

No. Windows will check periodically for updates and install them silently for you, minimizing the network bandwidth. You are always up-to-date with recent features, improvements and bug fixes.

SimReader is virus-free and really does only what it promises to do. It does not have any kind of telemetry or any unjustified communication with internet. There are just two cases when an internet call is made by SimReader:

  • Checking for the most recent version available
  • Uploading eQUEST model outputs to InverseHub server

All binary files and SimReader packages are digitially signed to prevent tampering.
