Update to RECS 2020 data

[afontani]

Pull Request Description

Companion PR: ResStock-Estimation #323

Transitioning characteristics to use the EIA's 2020 RECS survey final characteristics. The development effort had the following goals:

Goals of the effort:

• Include Alaska and Hawaii into ResStock
• Include State level characteristics differentiation instead of previous multi-state regions
• Differentiate characteristics of mobile homes from single-family detached homes
• Include income and tenure correlations to characteristic saturation and efficiency levels

Characteristics that use the 2020 RECS data:

• Clothes Dryer
• Clothes Washer
• Clothes Washer Presence
• Cooking Range
• Cooling Setpoint
• Cooling Setpoint Has Offset
• Cooling Setpoint Offset Magnitude
• Cooling Setpoint Offset Period
• Dishwasher
• Geometry Attic Type
• HVAC Cooling Efficiency
• HVAC Cooling Type
• HVAC Has Ducts
• HVAC Has Shared System
• HVAC Heating Efficiency
• HVAC Heating Type
• HVAC Heating Type And Fuel
• HVAC Shared Efficiencies
• Heating Setpoint
• Heating Setpoint Has Offset
• Heating Setpoint Offset Magnitude
• Heating Setpoint Offset Period
• Misc Extra Refrigerator
• Misc Freezer
• Misc Hot Tub Spa
• Misc Pool
• Misc Pool Heater
• Refrigerator
• Roof Material
• Water Heater Efficiency
• Water Heater Fuel
• Water Heater In Unit
• Windows

FYI, OS-HPXML adjusts number of bedrooms, based on RECS 2015 relationships between nbeds/noccs/dwtypes, when doing an operational calculation (the resstock default): https://openstudio-hpxml.readthedocs.io/en/latest/workflow_inputs.html#hpxml-occupancy-calculation-type

Are there plans to update these relationships?

I was going to wait to update the regression equations after the final energy end-use data was released. I guess these equations could get updated now. I don't expect the characteristics of 2020 RECS to change.

Can we add a changelog entry for this?

@joseph-robertson : Done. 2ca14ec

Should n_buildings_represented in the project ymls be updated (since adding AK/HI)?

Because integration test samples change, how do / should we check for regressions?

Thanks. Addressed a4bce99. I have taken a look at the regression comparisons before this commit. Increasing the unit counts will just increase the total energy. Moving forward we should be consistent after the merge.
