DescriptionThe "Create Typical Building" OpenStudio measures empowers users to effortlessly generate OpenStudio and EnergyPlus models by making a few select choices. Users can input preferences such as the building energy code year (e.g., ASHRAE 90.1-2013), climate zone, and desired heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system.
Modeler's DescriptionThis OpenStudio Measure analyzes and generates a standard building model using either the current geometry or a pre-established geometry file. It considers the selected building energy standard, the HVAC system, and the specific climate zone to create a standardized building model within OpenStudio. Please note that choosing any option other than "Existing Geometry" will replace the current OSM file. Selecting "JSON-specified" under "HVAC Type" allows users to map CBECS HVAC Systems to specific zones in the OSM model. An example file can be found at under this measure's tests at .\tests\source\hvac_mapping_path\hvac_zone_mapping.json
