honeybee_energy.config module

Honeybee_energy configurations.

Import this into every module where access configurations are needed.

Usage:

from honeybee_energy.config import folders
print(folders.energyplus_path)
print(folders.openstudio_path)
folders.energyplus_path = "C:/EnergyPlusV9-0-1"
class honeybee_energy.config.Folders(config_file=None, mute=True)[source]

Bases: object

property energyplus_idd_path
property energyplus_path

Get or set the path to EnergyPlus installation folder.

property energyplus_version

Get a tuple for the version of energyplus (eg. (9, 3, 0)).

This will be None if the version could not be sensed or if no EnergyPlus installation was found.

property energyplus_version_str
