<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>The answer to
your first question is yes but only to version 2.0 of EnergyPlus. You can then
use the EnergyPlus transition utilities to bring your E+ model back to the
latest version. The conversion from ESP-r to E+ is done only for the basic
model features (geometry, materials and basic operations). It has been many
years since I did this but I remember there is one limitation in the process:
make sure your model does not have any doors. You can find the export option in
the first menu of Project Manager (press &#8220;export current model&#8221;).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>The answer to
your second question is again yes. However, I think that you need to convert
your model files from DOS format into UNIX format and you need to correct the
lines in the model files that include &#8220;C:/Esru/&#8230;&#8221; into whatever folder your
model is in the cygwin area. There are many easy ways to do this process. I
tend to use editors such as &#8220;Notepad++&#8221; in Windows or &#8220;Nedit&#8221; in Linux (same
for cygwin). There was a script somewhere in the source code I think that could
do all this automatically but I have never tried that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Dear All, <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>does anyone know if it&#8217;s possible to export energy plus
models into ESP-r? And can cfg files created by the native windows version of
ESP-r be open and modified by the cygwin version? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you, very happy new year to all! Kind regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
