After discussion and recent investigations into better understanding the resilience impacts of the ResStock timeseries results for power outages and load-shifting events, there is some evidence that the amount of thermal mass in ResStock is under-predicted. A quick (although non-physical fix) is to increase the temperature capacitance multiplier. A recommended number of 7.0 has been suggested by @jmaguire1. There are multiple efforts currently trying to leverage ResStock in these applications. While work is being done to better figure out a better solution, a quick fix is implemented to get the results in the acceptable range.
