Inquire about how to create an environment with single room #8

Hi, The current HVAC control environment in Bear is so well-designed! However, for my project, I need a simplified version with only a single room. I tried several building type like OfficeSmall and OfficeMedium but they all have multiple rooms. I would appreciate guidance on how to modify the existing environment to achieve this.

Hi,

Thank you for choosing BEAR for your building energy analysis needs.

Regarding your query, the recommended approach involves creating a simplified EnergyPlus model, consisting of a single room. After running it in EnergyPlus, you should export the results in HTML format. These results can then be seamlessly integrated into the ParameterGenerator function, as detailed in the CustomizeModel_example.ipynb guide.

However, I understand that if you're not familiar with EnergyPlus, this process may seem daunting. In such cases, an alternative would be to manually construct a similar parameter dictionary. This dictionary would then be fed into the BuildingEnvReal function. Please note, this method necessitates a basic understanding of the reduced RC (Resistance-Capacitance) modeling technique applied within building HVAC systems.

To facilitate this process and address any concerns you might have, I'm more than willing to provide additional assistance through email or a Zoom meeting. Please let me know how I can assist you further.

Best, Chi

Thank you so much for such detailed reply! The reason I want to use a single room is just it's easier to implement; I'm now trying to using meta ppo in BEAR environment, and everything will be alright if I can make it in multiple room. Thank you again for your patience, and I'll reach to you if further assistance is needed.
