EnergyPlus 24.2.0 (Bug Fix Release)

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has released EnergyPlus version 24.2.0. There were many bug fixes and prominent new features this release. The full changelog for this release cycle is listed below. For more information about EnergyPlus, please visit www.energyplus.net.

🐞 Bug Fix Release 🐞

EnergyPlus 24.2.0 was released previously at sha e7ecb2d. After release a couple issues were identified that justified a re-release (#10766, #10777). This new version is functionally equivalent to the original 24.2.0 except those bug fixes. Even if those bug fixes don't affect your modeling, it is suggested that you use this updated version.

There was a discussion about incrementing the version's patch number to accommodate these changes (24.2.1). Given that we wanted to get this patched version out as quickly as possible without breaking/disrupting any workflows, we decided to just release with the same version number including the zero patch level. We will look into leveraging the patch number more semantically in the future if this situation ever occurs again.

Supported Platforms

  • Windows 11 64-bit
  • Linux (Ubuntu) 24.04 64 bit
