@mdahlhausen do you have any reason to do this in Standards? I are you using any EnergyPlus measures, other than maybe utility tariffs?
I can't think of any instances where this is necessary in openstudio-standards. Generally I'm trying to avoid EnergyPlus measures and only use them as a last resort. openstudio-standards does use EMS for radiant slab controls, but hopefully that's replaced with OpenStudio methods by the next release.
Enhancement Request
I want to be able to run the IDF file that comes out of an EnergyPlus measure through EnergyPlus. Currently we don't do this and have many situations where measure tests pass, we release, and then later realize the IDF files being made won't run successfully.
Here is one example https://github.com/NREL/openstudio-load-flexibility-measures-gem/issues/52
Detailed Description
This is already done for OpenStudio models in model measures using a method in the standard gems. https://github.com/NREL/openstudio-standards/blob/a61ba54ead336dbbd5376a8b0c3f1fb139aaebaa/lib/openstudio-standards/utilities/simulation.rb#L9
Possible Implementation
Code location: There are a few approaches two this, and they are a few possible places for the code to go. First I'll talk about code placement
