BuildStock, built on the OpenStudio platform, is a project geared at modeling the existing building stock for, e.g., national, regional, or local analysis, using the EnergyPlus simulation engine. It consists of ResStock and ComStock, sister tools for modeling the residential and commercial building stock, respectively.
This project is a work-in-progress.
A pre-release of ResStock with Multifamily Low-Rise capabilities is now available!
