Heating and Cooling SET Hours (Annual Thermal Resilience Summary)

edit

Thank you, this is very helpful! However, I am not sure how to add these inputs within the OpenStudio-HPXML that I am using for running the batch simulations. Any advice on that? What folder should I look into?

To elaborate more on the question - where do I go in and add this measure? Is it in the in.xml file for the building energy model or is it in one of the measure.rb files? Or, do I need to interact with the generated in.idf file after running the simulation?

Thank you for the help!

Since OpenStudio-HPXML does not expose any inputs for describing thermal comfort models, the typical way to handle this is: 1) write an OpenStudio measure, that you would apply to the OpenStudio model created by the HPXMLtoOpenStudio measure, that makes the changes you want to see, 2) create an OpenStudio workflow (OSW) file that incorporates your measure, to be run via the Advanced Run instructions.

If someone already wrote an OpenStudio measure to do this, that would make the effort much lower. But I don't see any such measure on the Building Component Library.

Thank you, yes, that is what I thought too. I will try to figure out how to add a measure. To confirm, this measure should go in the measure.rb file in the HPXMLtoOpenStudio folder, correct?

Also, for the Advanced Run, I have a python script that runs the osw file, since I am running batch simulations. So that should not be a problem I think?

Thank you
