Tips for Fast and Efficient Residential Modeling in OpenStudio

Hi, I’m new to OpenStudio but have some experience with DesignBuilder. I’d like to use OpenStudio to model simple residential buildings with simple HVAC systems. Most of the input data I work with is fixed, and I’m looking for the best way to create templates that can automatically populate all the required data for simulations. I would then make adjustments based on the specific design.

Additionally, is the SketchUp plug-in a good tool for speeding up geometry modeling, or is there a faster way to handle geometry in OpenStudio?

This forum is amazing, and I truly appreciate everyone here for sharing their expertise. Thank you in advance for your advice!
