The OpenStudio® Analysis Gem is used to communicate files to the OpenStudio Distributed Analysis. The purpose of this gem is to generate the analysis.json file, analysis.zip, and communicate with the server to upload the simulations. This gem does not create the cluster. To manage cloud resources use the OpenStudio Analysis Framework Helm Charts.
Overview of the OpenStudio® Fault Models Gem: Creating a comprehensive library of OpenStudio® fault models. Features: - Physics-based fault impact simulation within the capability of EnergyPlus®/OpenStudio® - Fault intensity implementation simulating how severe faults are (e.g., how much portion is fouled in the condenser heat exchanger) and estimating the impact of a fault in different fault intensities. - Fault evolution implementation simulating evolving/increasing fault intensity through certain period of time. Future goals: - what are common/typical faults in different sample spaces (e.g., HVAC system type, building operation type, building location etc.)? - how often (e.g., incidence and prevalence) faults occur in different sample spaces (e.g., HVAC system type, building operation type, building location etc.)?
OpenStudio® Server is a web application and distributed computing tool, which is the backbone of the OpenStudio Analysis Framework (OSAF). It is intended to make parametric analysis of building energy models accessible to architects, engineers, and designers via the OpenStudio PAT GUI or the OpenStudio Analysis Gem. OpenStudio Server analyses are defined by PAT projects or OSA's. Each analysis may include many OpenStudio simulations, as determined by project configuration.
This branch is the development branch for the OpenStudio® workflow gem.
OpenStudio® Standards is a Ruby Gem library that extends the OpenStudio SDK. It has four main use-cases: Provide higher level methods to help BEM users and developers to create OpenStudio models from existing geometry, or programmatically generated geometry Create typical building models in OpenStudio format Create a code baseline model from a proposed model Check a model against a code/standard openstudio-standards previously supported making the DOE/PNNL prototype buildings in OpenStudio format. This has since been deprecated, as the DOE/PNNL prototypes are intended for specific code comparisons under the Energy Policy Act and are not intended to accurately represent typical existing or new buildings. While openstudio-standards still creates typical buildings, these are not the same as the DOE/PNNL prototypes.
