Scripted Building Energy Modeling and Analysis: Preprint

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

Building energy modeling and analysis is currently a time-intensive, error-prone, and nonreproducible process. This paper describes the scripting platform of the OpenStudio tool suite (http://openstudio.nrel.gov) and demonstrates its use in several contexts. Two classes of scripts are described and demonstrated: measures and free-form scripts. Measures are small, single-purpose scripts thatconform to a predefined interface. Because measures are fairly simple, they can be written or modified by inexperienced programmers.
