Introduction to OpenStudio and EnergyPlus – Why?

Translation:
The question is: why should I use OpenStudio
Number one; it is free and open source. It is the most direct way to start modeling energy and developing technical solutions.
Number two; it will prepare you, the future energy modelers, engineers and scientists, to use most of the commonly used commercial building energy simulation software.
Let me explain further. All this commercial software uses EnergyPlus. EnergyPlus is the gold standard for energy modeling.
The ability to model almost anything comes from thousands of researchers, engineers and programmers around the world. It is very versatile, but also very complicated.
OpenStudio provides the simplified graphical interface to start energy modeling and learning EnergyPlus from scratch.
Because EnergyPlus is based on fundamental equations, it is timeless. These fundamentals will not change, even if computer optimization does.
In summary, by learning EnergyPlus with OpenStudio you will learn the basics. It prepares you for a lifelong career regardless of what commercial software your future job uses.
