UO SDK project to DES project #199

Go from SDK project to a DES project. Scaffold out all the issues.

Need solution for: SDK has more inputs than the GeoJSON file, what to do with possible missing information.

@nllong: @amyeallen1 was really knowledgeable and helpful. The current plan is to write a couple new OpenStudio measures (reusing what we can from the abandoned urban-measures repo) to include DistrictHeating and DistrictCooling objects in the output from the SDK. That will give us consistent variables to read into the system_parameters files.

Thanks, Nate! On further thought, I remembered that the URBANopt model articulation gem has a measure "Create Typical Building from Model" that allows one to set "District Heating" or "District Cooling" as a source for heating and cooling. This will accomplish what we would want to use the time series approach for modeling a building tied to a DES. Is this measure still compatible with the current SDK process? https://github.com/NREL/openstudio-model-articulation-gem/tree/develop/lib/measures/create_typical_building_from_model
