Openstudio Standards Versions Save

Major Updates

• Added the openstudio-extension-gem core library to openstudio-standards You can find the core methods in new modules:
  • Constructions
  • Geometry
  • Daylighting
  • Create Typical
  • Schedules
  • Weather
  • QAQC
• Radiant slab refactor Thanks to @carlosduarteroa at UC Berkeley's CBE, openstudio-standards now makes use of all of the new features for radiant slab modeling available in E+ and OpenStudio. These include:
  • Use zone occupancy for radiant control
  • Add support for 2 pipe systems
  • Add support for slab temperature setpoint reset
  • Add support for supply water temperature setpoint reset
  • Add control based on outdoor air temperature, zone demand reset, or constant slab temperature
  • Add support for different control strategies (precool, afternoon shutoff, 24-hr operation, concurrent with occupants)
