Problem

  • The EnergyPlus objects can have legal names in the following format Special glass <thickness is 3mm>
  • Energyplus itself has no problems with such names
  • This name turns up in the HTML output file.
    • In the HTML file the part name<thickness is 3mm> looks like an HTML tag.
    • The browser tries to make sense of it and fix it so that something can be displayed
    • This results in a mangled name in the HTML file as viewed in the browser

Solution

  • Ideally this has to be fixed in Energyplus
  • eppy has a stop gap fix
  • eppy will ignore any tag within a cell of a table
