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! :)

Hi !

When I generate a model with "openstudio path/to/openstudio.exe /path/to/run_analysis.rb -y -u upgrade_name -m" (from the ResStock library) and then run energyplus simulation I got a surprising evolution of the parameter "Zone People Occupant Count" in the conditionned space (for 2 people). Here is the evolution for the first 16 timesteps (15min) :

[2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 1.466, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.466, 0.0, 0.534]

I have some doubts on the in.schedules.csv file (generated with run_analysis.rb) because the first 16 timesteps (15min) :

[1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.733, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.233, 0.0, 0.267]

Should I expect this result of in.schedules.csv ?

Thanks for your help !

Hi,

I have this object in my .idf file : ElectricLoadCenter:Storage:LiIonNMCBattery. I was wondering if this object has a self discharge rate. For example, if I have a state-of-charge of 100% at 9AM I expect to have less than 100% at 6 PM without charging or discharging. Is this phenomena implemented ? If not how can I manage to add it ?

Thanks a lot !
