Units in Openstudio Standards
I looked at the documentation, but I could not find an answer. Does openstudio-standards use IP or SI?
I was looking at the methods under Standards, for example space_type_apply_internal_loads and they all seem to convert from IP to SI the various properties in space_type_properties. For example:
definition.setWattsperSpaceFloorArea(OpenStudio.convert(elec_equip_per_area.to_f, 'W/ft^2', 'W/m^2').get)
or
ventilation.setOutdoorAirFlowperFloorArea(OpenStudio.convert(ventilation_per_area.to_f, 'ft^3/min*ft^2', 'm^3/s*m^2').get)
Is that the case? Can I assume that all the data is in IP and I need to convert it?
I found the units for all the various quantities in the repository on Github.
All the units are in the files called
metadata_units_OpenStudio_*indata/standards
