What’s new in buildstockbatch 2022.10.0
About this Document
This document describes changes between buildstockbatch version 0.21 and buildstockbatch version 2022.10.0
General
Buildstockbatch is changing versioning schemes to use a year.month.patch format. It has been a while since our last formal release. A lot has changed in both ResStock and ComStock in that time. This is the first release that formally supports the new HPXML based workflow for ResStock. It is also the first formal version that supports ComStock. (Prior to this ComStock was being run from a separate branch.)
Most users have been using their own branches or environments built from
develop to get the features they need. Hopefully this allows most users to
use a release instead. We intend to make more frequent releases to get features
in users hands without the need to support your own development environment.
See v2022.10.0 Changelog for details of changes since the last version.
Schema Updates
Most input changes are in the Residential HPXML and Commercial workflow generators. See Workflow Generators for more information.
There are some new, non breaking postprocessing inputs. The number of processors per worker and parquet memory size on Eagle are now configurable. There is also a new configuration capability to partition the postprocessed output for more efficient querying in Athena. See Eagle Configuration and Postprocessing Configuration Options for details.
