Good news and bad news....

Bad news--we found a few bugs in Version 1.2.1 that you might want to
know about...

- COMIS results were not correct in the V1.2.1.012 release.  This
has been corrected.

- DOE-2 Translator: The conversion in the DOE-2 Translator for Specific
Heat is incorrect. The translated value is a factor of 1000 too small.
The conversion should be J/Kg-K = 4186.8 * Btu/Lb-F. This has been
corrected.

- In the eio output, the section "Zone Internal Gains/Equipment
Information - Nominal" reports "Floor Area {m2}, # Occupants,
Area per Occupant {m2/person}". The value being reported for
"Area per Occupant" is the inverse {persons/m2}. This has been
corrected.

- Several new error detections were added and other parts of the install
cleaned up.

All addressed issues and known issues are available on the YahooGroups
support list for EnergyPlus and will be downloaded if you download the
new version.


Good news--a new build (22) of EnergyPlus Version 1.2.1 which fixes
these
issues is now available from the EnergyPlus web site.

Steps to get the new build:

1. Go to the EnergyPlus web site (

www.energyplus.gov ) and click on
Getting EnergyPlus.

2. Complete the registration info (yes, you have to register
again...).

3. Download the new version.  You may want to try the Windows
web
install--it only will download the necessary new files, not
everything.

Thanks for using EnergyPlus!
