0.1.7

• Full hourly results are now saved in the cwd in csv format
• Field 'shading' is now bool type, but old str type still supported
• Field 'wwr' is now int type, but old float type still supported
• Improved error catching and reporting, especially for EnergyPlus errors
• Some errors now raised as message boxes for clarity
• Other minor bug fixes

0.1.6

Version compatibility changes:

• Decorator included since some versions of QGIS do not have this.
• Included newer versions of eppy to support Python 3.10+.
• User is warned if Pandas cannot be imported - this seems to be an issue on certain versions of QGIS and an issue already exists on the official QGIS GitHub for this.

Other changes:

• When EnergyPlus fails, the exact path to the err file is reported.
• Applies strip and lowercase to inputs to avoid potential problems along the line.

0.1.5

• Now produces total results fields (for electricity consumption, heating load and cooling load) in addition to the existing per-floor results fields

0.1.4

• Split constructions into each element. Now "wall_const", "roof_const", "floor_const" and "glazing_const" are specified separately giving more flexibility. Layers which use older versions of the plugin will need to be updated (but old databases can remain the same).
• Added more default constructions and materials
• Changed "Commercial" use into "Office" and "Shop"
• Checks for weather file at start of process so that failure can occur before pre-processing
• Checks for duplicate UIDs
• Changed default shading buffer radius to 20m

0.1.3

• Fixed bugs with processing geometry using new Shapely syntax
• Added minimum and maximum temperature as outputs
• Added logging to aid debugging and crash reporting
• Added user settable minimum temperature for ventilation value to config.json file

0.1.2

The Simstock QGIS plugin does not need to be reloaded after each use anymore; the user no longer needs to use the Plugin Reloader.

0.1.1

• Better and clearer error messages for the user
• Source CRS from selected layer instead of sourcing from config.json file
• Report which polygons caused problems in the case of intersections
• Suppress EnergyPlus html and csv reports which are not necessary and can take up a lot of disk space
• Fixed bugs
