New Input paramters. Are they really Needed? #3518

Closed jimenofonseca closed 5 months ago

jimenofonseca commented 5 months ago

i just say this in the code. It seems that this is not functional information and just brings 7+ parameters to take a look at while using CEA. I would refrain from adding Input paramters to the tables that one will not actively use in the simulation.

@ShiZhongming are there strong reasons to keep such data as input parameters?

======= house_no: description: House number in the address(if any) type: string unit: 'NA' values: alphanumeric nullable: true street: description: Street name in the address (if any) type: string unit: 'NA' values: alphanumeric nullable: true postcode: description: Postal code in the address (if any) type: string unit: 'NA' values: alphanumeric nullable: true house_name: description: House number (if any) type: string unit: 'NA' values: alphanumeric nullable: true resi_type: description: Residential type, e.g. HDB for Singapore (if any) type: string unit: 'NA' values: alphanumeric nullable: true city: description: City name in the address (if any) type: string unit: 'NA' values: alphanumeric nullable: true country: description: Country 2-digit code in the address (if any) type: string unit: 'NA'

Hi @jimenofonseca These parameters are assisting post-simulation analysis. They enable our users to link the simulation results to the actual building, either using street address or postal code.
