[lyt5410]

Pull Request (PR) Description

NOTE: SUBMIT A PLAN TO DEER SUPPORT PRIOR TO WORKING ON CODE FOR A MEASURE, FEATURE, OR BUG TO BE CONNECTED WITH OTHERS WORKING ON THE SAME ISSUE OR TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK ON YOUR PROPOSED METHOD

New Feature Summary

This is the update to 4 existing post-processing python scripts and accompanying data tables in the folder scripts\data transformation to produce hourly loadshape with CEDARS desired format in addition to their original functionality.

Updated the following scripts:

• SFm.py
• MFm.py
• DMo.py
• Com.py

Additional output table(s) that will be created by the update:

• CEDARS_long_ls_SFm.zip
• CEDARS_long_ls_MFm.zip
• CEDARS_long_ls_DMo.zip
• CEDARS_long_ls_Com.zip

Related data tables updates:

• normalizing unit related updates in DEER_EnergyPlus_Modelkit_Measure_list_working.xlsx
• normalizing unit related updates in Normunits.xlsx

These were developed using the following test run cases in the Modelkit system:

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.
