ResStock building model generation

Hi,

I understand that the ResStock library generates building energy models based on statistical distributions, and then applies upgrades (i.e., modifications to the base building model to create variants). Is this correct?

I have two questions:

Generating models for a specific state : Is it possible to generate a specific number of building energy models only for New York State? If so, should I modify the distribution assigned in the RunSampling object (in run_sampling_lib.rb) to achieve this?

Generating specific building configurations : For example, if I want to generate 25 buildings with PVs and batteries and 50 buildings without PVs and batteries, how should I proceed?

Should I adjust the distributions in RunSampling to reflect these proportions? If yes, do I need to run the generation process repeatedly until I obtain the desired number of buildings matching my criteria?

Thanks for your help! :)
