The OpenStudio®-ERI project allows calculating an Energy Rating Index (ERI) using the Department of Energy's open-source OpenStudio®/EnergyPlus® simulation platform. The building description is provided in an HPXML file format. The project supports: - ANSI/RESNET/ICC 301© Standard for the Calculation and Labeling of the Energy Performance of Dwelling and Sleeping Units using an Energy Rating Index - ENERGY STAR Certification System for Homes and Apartments Using an ERI Compliance Path - IECC ERI Compliance Alternative (Section R406) - DOE ZERH Certification Using an ERI Compliance Path For more information on running simulations, generating HPXML files, etc., please visit the documentation at https://openstudio-eri.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
