Major Updates

Modules

openstudio-standards has many helpful methods to alter an OpenStudio model. Previously, these methods were only available by instantiating a Standards class object and accessing methods through that object. This was confusing and difficult to document, because methods were shared across all standard templates. The openstudio-standards team is in the process of moving all generic methods that apply regardless of the standard template to modules that can be used independently.
Methods are available in the following modules:

• Constructions
• CreateTypical
• Daylighting
• Geometry
• HVAC
• Infiltration
• QAQC
• Schedules
• Space
• SqlFile
• ThermalZone
• Weather

This release moves methods into modules except for HVAC, ServiceWaterHeating, and Refrigeration modules, which will be added in the next release. As a developer, you may notice instances where standard. no longer works. Check the modules, as the method may have been moved there. Reach out to the development team for a list mapping old methods to new module methods.

90.1 data refactor

This is mostly relevant to developers who need to change the standards data jsons for their project.
PNNL moved the 90.1 data to a formal database. In the process some data json fields have changed, particularly for HVAC efficiencies.
