Python Milestone 2: A Text-based Interface for Energy Modeling

In this part of coursework, you will be asked to develop a few more python functions and a

text-based user interface that are able to perform simple building energy simulations based on

EnergyPlus.

Learning outcomes

- Test and practice the knowledge of iterations and data structures in Python

- Test and practice the knowledge of I/O and modification of text-based files

- Test and practice the knowledge of simple data analysis on building performance

Submission format: submit a python script file(s) (.py file) and a word file on Moodle

Text-based Interface of Energy Modeling

Building energy modeling is an important tool to help engineers predict and analyze building

energy consumption under various design and operation conditions. You can get the energy

demand of a building even before you actually build it, and you can get to know the effects of

some key thermal parameters on the final energy performance of your design.

While most building energy modeling software has a nice graphical user interface (GUI), it is

beyond your ability at this stage of the module. Therefore, this project will just ask you to

develop a simple text-based user interface to perform energy modeling based on a popular

engine named EnergyPlus.

Requirements

1. In this coursework, you are given a model file (1ZoneIdealSys.idf) and a given weather file

shanghai_2017.epw. You need create a software with text-based interface by using Python

argparse feature to realize the following features:

◼ When user gives a starting U-value, an ending U-value (inclusive), a step interval

(e.g., 0.2, 3.0, 0.2 respectively), your software should be able to output a single bar

chart file (a .PNG image file) to visualize annual total heating energy consumption

and annual total cooling energy consumption at different U-values (i.e., 0.2, 0.4, 0.6,

0.8, …, 3.0). In this bar chart, the x-axis is U-value, and the y-axis is annual total

heating/cooling energy consumption. You should use different colors to represent

heating and cooling energy consumption bars.

2. Write a short paragraph (less than 300 words, in MS Word), comment on the effects of wall

U-value on the heating and cooling energy consumption. You should use the bar chart

generated by your software above. Explain the effects based on heat transfer principles (e.g.,

your PCM contents).

Marking Rubrics

# Requirements Marks

1 Interface: correct implementation of the text based interface using Python argparse feature.

The text-based interface should have meaningful

argument names and argument explanations.

10

2 Runnable: your software must be runnable

without error. You software must be able to

10

handle the wrong arguments given by users, e.g.,

starting U-value is smaller than the ending U value.

3 Correctness: your code has correct

implementation of the requirements, and can

generate the output image with correct results.

40

Chart presentation: The output bar chart should

have correct axis labels, legends, and correct

color coding

10

Styles: Right programming styles (discussed in

our session 2)

10

Analysis: Clear and correct analysis on the effects

of U value on heating and cooling energy

consumption, with strong reference to the charts

that have been plotted; correct English usage

without grammar errors; correct explanation

based on heat transfer principles.
