# Archetypal
**python for building simulation archetypes**
Retrieve, construct, simulate, convert and analyze building simulation
templates
## Overview
**Archetypal** is a Python package that helps handle building
archetypes.
## Changes since v2.0.0
The conversion of [EnergyPlus](https://energyplus.net) IDF models to
Trnsys
[TrnBuild](http://www.trnsys.com/features/suite-of-tools.php.html)
Models (compatible with the multizone building model) is now part of a
distinct package known as the
[trnslator](https://github.com/louisleroy5/trnslator).
## Features
Here is a short overview of features that are part of archetypal:
1. Building Complexity Reduction: A utility to transform a multizone
EnergyPlus model to a two-zone normalized model. Such models are
called `building archetypes` and are the foundation of the
[UMI Energy Module](https://umidocs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/model-setup-template.html).
This tool will allow any EnergyPlus model to be imported into
[UMI](http://web.mit.edu/sustainabledesignlab/projects/umi/index.html)
and drastically speedup the UBEM process.
## Installation
Recommended to use a conda environement running python 3.8. Pip install should work on all platforms (linux, macOS and Windows).
First,
```cmd
conda create -n venv python=3.8
```
`-n venv` is the name of your environement; it can be anything.
Then,
```cmd
pip install -U archetypal
```
## Local Development
1. Clone this repo locally
```console
git clone https://github.com/samuelduchesne/archetypal.git
```
2. Install dependencies:
```console
cd archetypal
conda env create
```
This will create a new environment named `archetypal`. Don't forget to activate the environment.
3. Run Tests:
```console
python -m pytest tests/
```
4. Generate Documentation:
```console
make html
```
