Something caught my surprise when looking through the change log posted by the NREL ResStock teams v2.3.0 update, which can be found here: https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio-BuildStock/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
Specifically, the change log said, "Remove the single-family detached project, and remove PAT from the testing and multifamily projects."
This is a question targeted specifically to the NREL ResStock team.
Does ResStock v2.3.0 use PAT in any way? What GUI has replaced it, if any? Are simulations not run through a GUI but rather through an engine (similar to oldschool energyplus?).
Right now, I am assuming that I should open project_national in PAT and proceed with a similar method as I have done before with project_single family detached using ResStock v2.2.4.
I was looking on the readthedocs for ResStock v2.3.0, found here: https://resstock.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/index.html. I find no reference to parametric analysis, but apply upgrade with parameter|option pairing is still a thing so I am assuming that PAT is used in some way.
Note: when opening the buildstockbatch documentation on the latest readthedocs I got a code 404 not found error, so that might be something that the NREL team should look into.
