I developed for my master's thesis an automation tool to auto-configure EnergyPlus/OpenStudio models, batch run simulations, retrieve the results and plot a lot of graphs. This is tailored for one specific usecase, with a strong focus on ventilation (also for "COVID-19" scenarios) but I tried to design it in such a way that it could be easily extended and used for other projects.
The programming language is Python (for now 3.7), the configuration is done in a settings.py file and there's a script to run various commands. The main dependencies (Python packages) are eppy, openstudio, pandas, seaborn.
I have been offered to write an academic paper about it, and if I do it I would also have to write documentation, tests and ship a proper package that can be easily installable (including providing a Docker image and the necessary stuff to help a quick start). Now my problem is that I don't really have the time to do this, and I would not do it for fun, but only if I know that it can be useful to other people.
If you are interested and think that you could consider using such a tool, please let me know.
