AOP alignment

LBNL: 4/30/25, Modelica Buildings Library ready for first OpenStudio workflow from Spawn that includes an auto-sized HVAC system.

Sizing

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

Need to add output for return temperature, needed to compute heat for outside air. Kyle will add to EnergyPlus outputs.

Pending: If Modelica asks for sizing of a zone that has not the sizing information, need to improve logging to user. Documentation still needs to be revised.

OpenStudio integration

No discussion.

Modelon

No discussion.

Modelica Buildings Library

Backlog on fixing various issue.

PNNL priority is zone side templates.

PNNL has milestones for end of FY to implement heat pump water heater, mostly using existing classes. Karthik works on finishing it for the PR.

ORNL latent wheel: This will be update after the thermal wheel is done due to dependencies:

Finish DX dehumidifier https://github.com/lbl-srg/modelica-buildings/pull/3475

Finish direct evaporative cooler https://github.com/lbl-srg/modelica-buildings/pull/3755

Finish air filter, PR to master is https://github.com/lbl-srg/modelica-buildings/pull/3676 (air filter) Next: Michael to review
