File & Directory Structure

The program itself is set up to run directly from its repository, and operate directly on EnergyPlus build folders. There is no extra burden required to move files around (anymore). The build folder is expected to have the entire set of binaries, including all Fortran tools. So when configuring the build, make sure to set up BUILD_FORTRAN.

Test Directory

This program runs regression testing for 2 different builds of EnergyPlus versions of an executable. The regression tool will verify that the build folder looks satisfactory before starting the runs.

When the test is completed, test results will be contained in a Tests directory in the base case folder. The folder name will be one of the following:

Tests

This will be created if the test suite run did not force a specific run configuration

Tests-DDOnly

This will be created if the test suite forced all input files to run sizing periods only

Tests-Annual

This will be created if the test suite forced all input files to run annual simulations
