OpenStudio BCL down?

I'm using OpenStudio Application V 1.11.0 (SDK 3.11.0)

I wanted to download a new measure, but when I click on "Find Measures on BCL" the menu titles are there but it is otherwise blank - no dropdowns and no measures to be found. Same if I try searching for "Find Measures" from the Components & Measures toolbar. I am connected to the interenet. I tried browsing for measures on https://bcl.nlr.gov/ but that too showed a blank page whenever I clicked "browse"

Has anyone else run into this? I feel like it was working for me just last week.

BCL should be back online now. Note the change in URL to bcl.nlr.gov. bcl.nrel.gov will continue working until May 29th, 2026.

I am now not able to connect to the bcl repository through OpenStudio--do I need to change a setting somewhere because of the URL change?

And--the links on https://bcl.nlr.gov/results/?fq=bundl... still use the nrel URL--and I haven't figured out if I can get to the new URL.

Hoping someone has figured this out.

Solved--changing the download URL from nrel to nlr appears to work.

The download URLs are now fixed on BCL. Let me know if they are working without needing to change them manually now. thanks!

I experienced the same issue where I couldn't access the online BCL while using a company internal network (intranet). Try using a Wi-Fi network or a mobile hotspot.
