BETTER Analysis units: Control via Thermal Conversion Assumption #2856

Open RDmitchell opened 2 years ago

RDmitchell commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Right now the BETTER analysis is always performed in IP units. It would be nice to allow the user to control whether the analysis was done in IP or SI units

Describe the solution you'd like One possibility would be to use the "Thermal Conversion Assumption" that is in Organizations/Setting/Units. image

Describe alternatives you've considered I don't know of other options, but there might be others. And maybe we need a more universal way to control units.

I am assuming this would control the units of other things such as area (ft2 vs m2), etc, but if it doesn't then this might not be the right solution.

I'm wondering if we should have a separate setting for this. Thermal Conversion Assumption affects the way meter data is imported, so maybe we don't want to affect that as well?

RDmitchell commented 2 years ago

@macintoshpie -- it does seem like it might be better to have a separate setting, maybe just for BETTER...

macintoshpie commented 2 years ago

Yet another option is to add this to the analysis configuration modal. Though this could be frustrating for users if the default value is not what they want (imagine they run an analysis then realize they forgot to switch the units...). This could be solved by another idea of "analysis templates" (rerunnable analysis configurations) but that's probably getting a bit too far ahead of ourselves at the moment.

After thinking about the above it seems most appropriate to have this as a configuration variable for the analysis rather than settings for the organization.

@nllong -- what do you think? Seems like it would be nice to be able to switch units, but it's not a high priority.

P-2 seems good, but seems like we should take the stale label off?

nllong commented 2 years ago

Yes, lets keep this around. We should support this unit switching. Also, I think the terms are now USCS (US customary system) and SI. I think this shows the benefit of the stale tool, as it brings these tickets back to our attention!
