Hi,
As per the FAQ of ResStock at this link: https://nrel.github.io/ResStock.githu..., “More recent datasets have xml and osm files, like the 2024 release 2.”
However, when I navigate to the building_energy_models files at this link: https://data.openei.org/s3_viewer?buc... , I am unable to download the OSM files.
Anyone has any insights why the OSM files cannot be downloaded ?
Thanks,
In the case of openei stopped working. You can try the following two approaches to download data from AWS S3 bucket. (Assuming the server is running normally.)
Approach 1. If you want to download the model files using command line approach, please see the following example. This approach requires you to correctly setup aws cli.

# example code of downloading the file from the s3 bucket
# aws s3 cp s3://oedi-data-lake/nrel-pds-building-stock/end-use-load-profiles-for-us-building-stock/2024/resstock_amy2018_release_2/model_and_schedule_files/building_energy_models/upgrade=2/bldg0004829-up02.zip ./multifamily/bldg0004829-up02.zip --no-sign-request
Approach 2. If you are familiar with Python, here is a notebook you can refer to.
You will need the building_id for specific files you want to download. Such information can be found in the metadata files.

@Sreenidhi K when I try to click on an entry in the data.openei.org site (e.g., upgrade=0/), I get the following error:
Is that happening for you as well, or are you having a different issue?
I am getting the same error message. Thanks for checking.
@sreenidhi-k @aaron-boranian Yes, it seems like a server side issue (openei side). I got this error "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 ()".
But the s3 command line approach still works for me with downloading model from a specific path. See page 56 here.
@Yapan, Wondering if you can explain how we do that? Say, we want to download the model from this path: https://data.openei.org/s3_viewer?buc... and upgrade = 2 hyperlink. How do we use the s3 command line ?
Thanks,
