Building Component Library

The Building Component Library is a repository of building data used to create building energy models. The data are broken down into separate components that represent parts of a building: windows, walls, schedules, and weather information are a few examples.

Search for components by type or keyword and use the facets to narrow down your search. Once you find the components you need, download them and insert them in your energy model.

OpenStudio | Trimble SketchUp Plug-in

OpenStudio includes a free plug-in for the Trimble SketchUp 3D drawing program. The plug-in makes it easy to create and edit the building geometry in your EnergyPlus input files.

You can add building components from this library into your SketchUp files and get more accurate and detailed analysis of your energy use.

Energy saving measures are scripts that have been created to apply an energy conservation measure on an energy model. An example measure is adding overhangs to all south-facing windows in the model.
