Run EnergyPlus building energy simulations in Google Colab — no local install needed.
What it does
One script sets everything up inside a Colab runtime:
- Installs required system libraries
- Downloads EnergyPlus from GitHub releases
- Downloads a TMYx weather file (EPW) — defaults to Gothenburg, Sweden
- Copies an example building model (IDF) to /content
- Runs a test simulation to confirm everything works
