! Minimal.idf ! Basic file description: This is a minimal configuration necessary to run. ! Highlights: Illustrates minimal items necessary to perform run. ! BUILDING, SURFACEGEOMETRY, LOCATION and DESIGNDAY (or RUNPERIOD) are the absolute minimal required input objects. ! TIME STEP IN HOUR is included so as to not get warning error. ! Including two design days, Run Control object and RunPeriod to facilitate use. ! Although not incredibly useful, this could be used as a weather/solar calculator. ! Simulation Location/Run: Denver is included. Any could be used. ! Building: None. ! ! Internal gains description: None. ! ! HVAC: None. !
