Not all options in options_lookup.tsv are supported in projects_national lookups

[jason-curtis]

I'm seeing a difference between the options in options_lookup.tsv and the dependency values in projects_national/housing_characteristics/*.tsv

Expected:

• if I choose a combination of options from options_lookup.tsv, I can use the stats tables in projects_national to inform my choices of other options.
• Specfically, if I choose Geometry Foundation Type = Conditioned Crawlspace from here, I expect to be able to use that option to inform choices of ducts in Ducts.tsv.

Actual behavior:

Conditioned Crawlspace does not appear in Ducts.tsv so I can't do that. Only the other choices for Geometry Foundation Type appear to be supported in the probability tables.

Question

Is this intended? I may have misunderstood the purpose of options_lookup.tsv but I expected them all to be supported. I'm not sure if Geometry Foundation Type = Conditioned Crawlspace is the only option like this.

The options_lookup.tsv is just a map from options to sets of measure argument values. A project is not required to sample all of them. Think of it as the "superset" of all options. Meaning, they are allowed to exist in options_lookup.tsv even if project_national doesn't sample them. The project_testing project, on the other hand, is meant to "test" all options found in the lookup.

It's also possible that options from the lookup are intended to be "upgrade" options - you wouldn't find them in any housing characteristics TSV files (i.e., baseline), but they could be used to define upgrade scenarios in project yml files.

Got it, thank you for the clarification!
