 1. Install the BCVTB version 1.1.0
 1. Copy [[http://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/bcvtb/releases/1.1.0/dll/mac/32/libbcvtb.dylib|this file]] to the !EnergyPlus {{{lib}}} directory, such as {{{/Applications/EnergyPlus-7-0-0/lib}}}. This will replace the existing file with the same name. (Do not use the file from {{{bcvtb/lib/util}}}, since this is a 64-bit version, but !EnergyPlus 7.0.0 requires a 32-bit version.)

This page describes how to fix a bug in the dll of EnergyPlus 7.0.0, build36 that may occur when exchanging a large amount of data in each time step. The error message that EnergyPlus writes to its .err file is 

 ExternalInterface starts first data exchange.
 Error: No digits were found in getDoubleCheckError.
 Further characters after number: 
 Sending EXIT_FAILURE = : 1
 **FATAL:Error in ExternalInterface: Check EnergyPlus *.err file.

To fix the bug, proceed as follows:

Windows

  1. Install the BCVTB version 1.1.0

  2. Copy the file bcvtb/lib/util/bcvtb.dll, where bcvtb is the top-level directory of the BCVTB installation, to the EnergyPlus directory, such as C:\Program Files\EnergyPlus-7-0-0. This will replace the existing file with the same name.

Linux

  1. Install the BCVTB version 1.1.0

  2. Copy the file bcvtb/lib/util/libbcvtb.so, where bcvtb is the top-level directory of the BCVTB installation, such as /usr/local/EnergyPlus-7-0-0. This will replace the existing file with the same name.
