OpenStudio-HPXML v1.5.1
OpenStudio-HPXML version 1.5.1 has been released. The OpenStudio-HPXML workflow uses HPXML building description files to run residential simulations on the Department of Energy's OpenStudio/EnergyPlus building simulation platform.
OpenStudio-HPXML v1.5.1 uses OpenStudio v3.5.0, EnergyPlus v22.2.0, and a proposed HPXML v4.0. Please visit the OpenStudio-HPXML v1.5.1 documentation for instructions on how to get started, how to generate an appropriate HPXML file, etc. The full set of US TMY3 weather files can be obtained from here.
