CEA needs to upgrade its feature to auto-assign construction standards when using data from OSM #3527

This Issue concerns CEA's feature to auto-assign construction standards when using data from OSM.

Currently, CEA auto-assigns construction standardsto buildings acquired from OSM based on the Year of Construction. It works fine with the default CH and SGDatabases.

Soonish, we are going to in take the DE Database, which contains archetypes (construction standards) by both Year of Construction and Use types. Such archetypes will be more common in future databases including both new and enhanced ones. Hence, CEA needs to upgrade its feature to auto-assign construction standards to accomodate such new archetypes.
