Introduction¶
EPQuery is a Python package for exploring and editing EnergyPlus models. The tool helps to automate many tedious tasks, especially when it comes to large models with thousands of objects. With EPQuery you can write scripts for adding new schedules, reading the details about the building geometry, adding external interface objects or applying any other custom modification.
Currently the tool contains mostly generic methods for editing IDF files, e.g. for creating and deleting objects, reading and modifying fields. Although these methods allow to apply any desired modifications in the model, their main purpose is to serve as the basis for specialized methods, e.g. for editing building geometry or adding new schedules. Since the tool is in the early stage of development, the list of specialized methods is yet limited and the users are welcome to add their own methods. See How to contribute.
