PR Author

• Make sure the PR branch is up to date with main branch at the time of the PR submission
• Craft a succinct title that effectively encapsulates the essence of the pull request, providing a general overview of the proposed changes.
• Label the PR with at least one of the following: New Measure, Bug, or Feature.
• Provide a concise description of the measure, bug, or feature. Submit one PR per measure.
• For a new measure, attach a workbook named DEER_EnergyPlus_Modelkit_Measure_list_working.xlsx, containing only rows used for post-processing the measure.
• Add comments in the code when necessary to facilitate the review process.
• Add a comment before the added code, including the author's full name, company, and specifying if it's a bug fix, new measure, or feature.
• For a new feature or bug, demonstrate the impact on energy consumption for selected cases with justification using plots and descriptions.
• For a new measure, add a summary table showing total energy consumption per simulated case.

PR Reviewer

• Conduct a thorough code review.
• If the branch is behind the main, merge the branch locally to check for potential conflicts.
• If a bug, locally reproduce it and compare energy consumptions before and after.
• Explore creative ways to stress-test the code.
• Locally check the error file and other outputs.
