v1.7.1

OpenStudio Application Version 1.7.1

The OpenStudio Coalition is proud to announce the releases of OpenStudio Application v1.7.1. This is a patch release based on OpenStudio SDK v3.7.0 which uses EnergyPlus v23.2.0.

Overview

The OpenStudio Application 1.7.1 release fixes several important bugs that were present in the 1.7.0 release.

The OpenStudio Application and OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in are funded by the OpenStudio Coalition members The Energy Coalition, PSD, VEIC, and EffiBEM. The OpenStudio Coalition has a strategic roadmap (here are the high level results) which prioritizes education and outreach to states, utilities, and higher education while ensuring the OpenStudio Application and OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in user interfaces continue to be free and open source. To continue our efforts and provide additional support or training, please join us!

Bug Fixes:

• BCL Viewer Human Readable Descriptions by @jmarrec in #672
• Dragging construction set from library is very slow by @macumber in #687
• Unable to edit Water Use Equipment Definition by @macumber in #685
• OpenStudio Application unusable on MacOS14 with M2 by #692
• Error when running Create Typical Building from Model Measures by @jmarrec and @macumber in #699
• Local copy of BCL folder gets wiped/overwritten by @macumber in #700

Internal/Developer changes:

• Mac CI failing on GMP by @macumber in #690

Installation Instructions

OpenStudio Application v1.7.1 is supported on 64-bit Windows 10 – 11, OS X 11.0 and higher for x86, OS X 12.1 and higher on M1, Ubuntu 20.04, and Ubuntu 22.04. The OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in v1.7.0 requires SketchUp 2021 or higher. Refer to the OpenStudio Application Compatibility Matrix and the OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in Compatibility Matrix for more information.

• Download and run the correct OpenStudio Application v1.7.1 installer for your platform. Select components for installation. Note that OpenStudio Application is a standalone app and does not require you to install OpenStudio SDK.
• (Optional) Download the OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in v1.7.0 RBZ package. Launch SketchUp 2021 or higher and install the RBZ package.
• New - The new GitHub based Building Component Library (BCL) no longer requires an account to access online building components and measures!
• Note that the Mac installers are currently not signed by the OpenStudio Coalition. To run these installers, the user must ctrl-click the file and select open. Additionally, Mac OS may add a quarantine attribute to the dmg file that prevents it from opening. This attribute can be removed using the command xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine at the command line.
• Note that the current version of SketchUp 2023 (Version 23.1.341) on Mac is currently affected by OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in crashes on launch on Mac (x86_64 and ARM) with SketchUp 2023 #133. For Mac users, it is advised to use SketchUp 2022 with the OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in until this issue is resolved.
• Note that PAT and DView are not included in either the SDK or Application installers. You will need to install PAT separately which is distributed on the OpenStudio-PAT GitHub page and DView at the Dview home page.

v1.7.0

OpenStudio Application Version 1.7.0

The OpenStudio Coalition is proud to announce the releases of OpenStudio Application v1.7.0 and OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in v1.7.0. These releases are based on OpenStudio SDK v3.7.0 which uses EnergyPlus v23.2.0.

Overview

The OpenStudio Application 1.7.0 release updates the application to OpenStudio 3.7.0, EnergyPlus 23.2.0. This version of the OpenStudio Application is the first version to allow access to Python Measures now supported by the OpenStudio SDK. This functionality allows users to create and use Python Measures in OpenStudio Workflows. Opening the door to the measure writing world for Python expands the potential for users to automate and augment their workflows. If you make something amazing, please share it at https://bcl.nrel.gov/!

The OpenStudio Application and OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in are funded by the OpenStudio Coalition members The Energy Coalition, PSD, VEIC, and EffiBEM. The OpenStudio Coalition has a strategic roadmap (here are the high level results) which prioritizes education and outreach to states, utilities, and higher education while ensuring the OpenStudio Application and OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in user interfaces continue to be free and open source. To continue our efforts and provide additional support or training, please join us!

Installation Instructions

OpenStudio Application v1.7.0 is supported on 64-bit Windows 10 – 11, OS X 11.0 and higher for x86, OS X 12.1 and higher on M1, Ubuntu 20.04, and Ubuntu 22.04. The OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in v1.7.0 requires SketchUp 2021 or higher. Refer to the OpenStudio Application Compatibility Matrix and the OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in Compatibility Matrix for more information.

• Download and run the correct OpenStudio Application v1.7.0 installer for your platform. Select components for installation. Note that OpenStudio Application is a standalone app and does not require you to install OpenStudio SDK.
• (Optional) Download the OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in v1.7.0 RBZ package. Launch SketchUp 2021 or higher and install the RBZ package.
• New - The new GitHub based Building Component Library (BCL) no longer requires an account to access online building components and measures!
• Note that the Mac installers are currently not signed by the OpenStudio Coalition. To run these installers, the user must ctrl-click the file and select open. Additionally, Mac OS may add a quarantine attribute to the dmg file that prevents it from opening. This attribute can be removed using the command xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine at the command line.
• Note that the current version of SketchUp 2023 (Version 23.1.341) on Mac is currently affected by OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in crashes on launch on Mac (x86_64 and ARM) with SketchUp 2023 #133. For Mac users, it is advised to use SketchUp 2022 with the OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in until this issue is resolved.
• Note that PAT and DView are not included in either the SDK or Application installers. You will need to install PAT separately which is distributed on the OpenStudio-PAT GitHub page and DView at the Dview home page.
