Kyle,

I'm using the measure to import chillers from the EnergyPlus library. This is great!!

I am very grateful for your help!

I suggest the inclusion of the measure into the BCL because it can help many other people. I'm beginning to study how to develop measures. It would be very interesting to have one or more measures importing any EnergyPlus library component because it is very complete.

For those who are importing the chillers using this measure, I present a workflow for use:

1) Copy the downloaded file to the directory of your measures in OpenStudio.

2) Open the chillers library of EnergyPlus and copy the chillers you want.

3) Paste the copied section on the measures file> add_chiller> resources> chiller_library.

4) Use the instructions from Kyle’s answer above
