Thanks Eric, I think my fix in ChangeBuildingLocation worked. I'm no longer getting that error, but my simulation failed

I ran into the following error while using the ComStock create_typical_building_from_model measure with the ashrae_90_1_2016 template. I get the same error with ashrae_90_1_2019. Can anyone suggest where I should look to troubleshoot?

Excellent. Thank you! I made the fix and my workflow is humming along with OS_SDK_3.7

2024-04-23 11:22:43 -0500 marked best answer Unable to use ComStock 2024_R1 measures with OS_SDK 3.7

Hi All,

I have had some success using workflows to create and run .osm files using measures from the ComStock 2023_R2 workflow with OS_SDK 3.6.1.

I recently tried updating to ComStock 2024_R1 and OS_SDK 3.7, and when I run the exact same workflow the simulation fails. Here is a sample of the error message I get in the run.log

[15:23:56.089989 ERROR] [openstudio.measure.OSRunner] SWIG director type mismatch in output value of type 'bool'
[15:23:56.090507 ERROR] [openstudio.workflow.OSWorkflow] Found error in state 'OpenStudioMeasures' with message: 'Runner error: Measure '/... /measures/set_exterior_lighting_template/measure.rb' reported an error with [SWIG director type mismatch in output value of type 'bool']'

I tried downgrading back to OS_SDK 3.6.1 and the workflow works again. It seems odd because the ComStock 2024_R1 release notes say it is compatible with OS_SDK 3.7.

Can anyone offer some advice about how I can try to troubleshoot? I don't know if this is a problem with the ComStock Measures, the OpenStudio-Standards measures (0.4.0 vs 0.5.0), or OS_SDK 3.7.

2024-04-18 09:30:30 -0500 marked best answer measure arguments for create_bar_from_building_type_ratios

Hello UH community,

I'm using the ComStock measures to generate typical building models. My process always begins with these measures from the ComStock GitHub repo:

  1. ChangeBuildingLocation
  2. simulation_settings
  3. create_bar_from_building_type_ratios
  4. create_typical_building_from_model

I was hoping someone could point me towards a detailed description of the measure arguments for create_bar_from_building_type_ratios. In particular I'd like to better-understand what these arguments do/mean:

  • perim_mul
  • bar_sep_dist_mult
  • bar_division_method
  • double_loaded_corridor
  • space_type_sort_logic

The best description I found so far is in this create_bar.rb ruby file, but I still don't understand them.

Thanks, James
