Installation

Install OpenStudio and PAT

Download the latest stable software version of OpenStudio (2.9.0) from the OpenStudio developer website. This is necessary because the latest critical changes to run ResStock projects are only available in the latest version. Do a default install including Parametric Analysis Tool (PAT).

Open the Parametric Analysis Tool (PAT). You may be asked if you would like to allow openstudio to allow connections. Select “Allow”.

Download the ResStock repository

Go to the releases page on GitHub, select a release, and either git clone or download a zip of the repository. The master branch is under active development, so we recommend using the latest release for production runs.

Developer instructions

If you will be developing residential measures and testing residential building models, see the Advanced Tutorial. If you are a developer, make sure that you have checked out the master branch of the repository.
