Hello,

I downloaded this measure from BCL under Measures/Whole Building/Space Types/Create Typical DOE Building from Model. There are small descriptions in some options but I can hardly understand them. Is there a full description that I can find or can anyone here kindly explain the following questions I have?

  1. There are five different options to choose from in the following list (image) to set up exterior lighting for the simulation. Where can I find a full description for this measure or does anyone know anything so that I can understand what is being done to the simulation by each option? All I know so far is that exterior lighting electricity consumption is increasing in ascending order.
  2. How does the "Add Elevators to Model" work in the simulation? I have two elevators in the building that I'm working on.
  3. What does "Clean Model of non-geometry objects" do?
  4. What does "Use upstream argument values" do?

Thanks in advance and greatly appreciated.
