This is a component for running a previoulsy-generated .idf file through EnergyPlus. -
Inputs
idfFilePath [Required]
The full file path to the idf file on your system that you would like to run (e.g. C:\ladybug\sample1.idf).epwFileAddress [Required]
The full file path to epw weather file that you would like the simulation to run with.parallel [Optional]

Set to 'True' to run the simulation.
Outputs
report
Report!resultFileAddress
The address of the EnergyPlus result file.eioFileAddress
