Minutes

AOP alignment

LBNL: By 9/30/24, released Modelica Buildings Library that gets autosizing data from EnergyPlus.
NREL: By 6/28/24, published release that includes auto-sizing.
LBNL: By 9/30/24, demonstrated OpenStudio workflow from Spawn.

Sizing

Draft specification at https://lbl-srg.github.io/soep/softwareArchitecture.html.

Kyle pushed 24.1.0 to a Buildings Library fork for testing, should be done today, and then work again on autosizing.

Sequence

  1. 9.6.0
  2. 24.1.0 without auto-sizing (watch changes to CMake list)
  3. 24.1.0 with auto-sizing.

OpenStudio integration

Kyle advocates to remove to next fiscal year due to bandwith limitations on OpenStudio this FY. Kyle to send email to Amir.

Modelon

Mac support. Kyle suggest to wait with ARM due to funding limitations. Kyle to look into how to retire the Mac Mini (Intel architecture). Current Intel Mac binaries is that last to be supported.

Compiler integration

No discussion.

FMI-QSS

Benchmarking is ongoing.

Modelica Buildings Library

Backlog on fixing various issue.

PNNL has milestones for end of FY for heat pump water heater. Karthik works on slides to discuss HP curve determination.

ORNL has dehumidifier as deliverable end of this month. Sen sent slides.

EnergyPlus-Modelica coupling

Spawn related PR at https://github.com/lbl-srg/modelica-buildings/projects/2

Update to EnergyPlus 24.1.0, after fixes of some spawn issues below.

Issues are at https://github.com/lbl-srg/modelica-buildings/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aspawn

Next, work on https://github.com/lbl-srg/modelica-buildings/projects/2

OS compatibility matrix is at https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio/wiki/OpenStudio-SDK-Version-Compatibility-Matrix

Kyle to work on the Spawn issues. Worked on tests and needs to wrap up distribution.

Negative start time, start day of the week, and initialization for non-zero start time are handled as one fix as they are somewhat related. This should be finished for 9.6.0, Kyle to work on creating binaries, then coding ready for testing. Then, first 24.1.0 without auto-sizing, then add autosizing to 24.1.0.

Yan to send update on HP templates and the updates to the control models.

Sen: PR issued for thermal wheel (assigned to Jianjun), the dedicated air system template depends on this. Auto-tuning PID updated PR with new changes. Air filter PR has been reviewed by Jianjun, next Sen works on improvements (see PR).
