世界各地许多流行的建筑能源模拟程序都已趋于成熟——有些程序使用起源于 20 世纪 60 年代的模拟方法（甚至是代码）。二十多年来，美国政府支持开发两个每小时一次的建筑能源模拟程序：BLAST 和 DOE-2。在大型计算机时代设计的，进一步扩展其功能变得困难、耗时且昂贵。与此同时，这 30 年来在分析、计算方法和能力方面取得了重大进展，为这些工具的重大改进提供了机会。 1996 年，美国联邦机构开始开发一种新的建筑能源模拟工具 EnergyPlus，其基础是两个现有程序的开发经验：DOE-2 和 BLAST。 EnergyPlus 包括许多创新的模拟功能 - 例如可变时间步长、与基于热量和质量平衡的区域模拟集成的用户可配置的模块化系统 - 以及为促进第三方模块和接口开发而定制的输入和输出数据结构。其他计划的模拟功能包括多区域气流、电力、太阳能热和光伏模拟。 EnergyPlus 的 Beta 测试于 1999 年底开始，首次发布计划于 2001 年初发布。(C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. 保留所有权利。
Many of the popular building energy simulation programs around the world are reaching maturity - some use simulation methods land even code) that originated in the 1960s. For more than two decades, the US government supported development of two hourly building energy simulation programs, BLAST and DOE-2. Designed in the days of mainframe computers, expanding their capabilities further has become difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. At the same time, the 30 years have seen significant advances in analysis and computational methods and power - providing an opportunity for significant improvement in these tools.In 1996, a US federal agency began developing a new building energy simulation tool, EnergyPlus, building on development experience with two existing programs: DOE-2 and BLAST. EnergyPlus includes a number of innovative simulation features - such as variable time steps, user-configurable modular systems that are integrated with a heat and mass balance-based zone simulation - and input and output data structures tailored to facilitate third party module and interface development. Other planned simulation capabilities include multizone airflow, and electric power and solar thermal and photovoltaic simulation. Beta testing of EnergyPlus began in late 1999 and the first release is scheduled for early 2001. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
