Openstudio Measure

By Meftah Uddin on


I have been using Grasshopper with Ladybug-Honeybee for parametric building analysis. To deepen my understanding of HVAC components, plant loops, air loops, and their connections, I recently started exploring OpenStudio. I quickly grew to love the application, as it provides valuable insight into how HVAC components interact within a system.

While using OpenStudio, I noticed that some features available in EnergyPlus were either missing or not easily parameterized. Out of curiosity (and a bit of fun during the winter Christmas break), I started learning Ruby to write OpenStudio Measures.

I developed a measure called ChangeBuildingAreaHeight, which allows users to modify a building’s footprint and height by applying user-defined fractions. This measure is designed for single-story buildings and works with various regular shapes, including rectangular, L-shape, T-shape, H-shape, and X-cross configurations.
The measure has been uploaded to the Building Component Library (BCL: Openstudio_Measures_meftah): https://lnkd.in/gm5JDx75.
I would love to hear feedback from the community.
