Documentation for ConStrain

Version: 0.4.0

ConStrain is a data-driven knowledge-integrated framework that automatically verifies that controls function as intended. ConStrain is designed around three key features: building control knowledge integration, analytics, and automation. The framework includes three major components: a control verification algorithm library (rule-based, procedure-based, and AI-based), an automated preparation process and verification case generation, a standardized performance evaluation and reporting process.

Applications of ConStrain include verifications of the implementation of control-related building energy code requirements (e.g., ASHRAE Standard 90.1) and sequences of operation (e.g., ASHRAE Guideline 36) using either data generated from building energy simulations and/or actual building monitoring system trend data.
