The previous chapter introduced the concept of OpenStudio Measures and how they can be applied individually and in combination to a Model to create and compare different Design Alternatives. While an improvement from modifying models by hand, generating results, and comparing them; the manual analysis workflow is still labor intensive, non-scalable, and will not necessarily yield the best solution for a given problem. In this chapter, we will discuss how OpenStudio enables automated creation and search of large building parameter spaces. We’ll also look at how these same approaches may be used to “tune” models of existing buildings to best match measured energy consumption data.
