How to Open the DoE Commercial Reference Buildings in Ladybug Tools

FYI, for the sake of everyone who references this post as the recommended way to get models of the DOE Commercial Reference Buildings, I added a new component called “HB Create OSM Measure”. This component can run the measure that I linked to that produces updated OSMs of the commercial reference buildings. Here is a sample of how to use it:


create_bldg_model_measure.gh (23.6 KB)

So, just Download this measure here, unzip it, connect it to the HB Load Measure component in that file and you’ll be able to generate updated commercial reference buildings for whatever building type and climate zone you want.
