User Compliance Data

Compliance data (referred to as user data in previous sections) is a set of .csv files with fixed format. The data can be used in the ASHRAE 90.1-2019 PRM method to provide additional information that cannot not be found in an OpenStudio model (e.g., motor_power). The compliance data can improve the accuracy of the PRM model.

Currently there are 9 .csv files in the compliance data set. Each of them covers a specific set of ASHRAE 90.1-2019 compliance data to OpenStudio object. This chapter will provide the detailed explaination on each of the files.
