Hi all,

Are there other openly available EnergyPlus prototype residential buildings
with extensively validated inputs similar to the ones developed by PNNL and
U.S. DOE ?
I'm
especially interested in any developed for contexts in the Global South.

Thanks in advance,
Arfa

Hello Arfa:

We have a web-based, code-compliant calculator at the ESL that includes a "typical" house we use to answer questions about stringency. We also have several PhD thesis about studies done on Habitat for Humanity houses in Bryan/College Station. Both of these examples include the input files for DOE-2.

Hi Arfa and all

Our group is currently developing residential building architype in Sri Lanka based on limited available data. I am happy to share when it is ready. I think this could be an important collective effort to consolidate such data/information for global south. We also need help and collaborations from our local researchers in these regions.

Best wishes
Vincent

Hi Arfa,

You can check out ResStock to see if that would be useful. I think it is US focused, but it still might have some use.
