A repo for organized code that goes with the BuildSys paper

Gnu-RL

This repo stores the code used for [Link to BuildSys Paper], along with a demonstration in an EnergyPlus model.

Install Related Packages

The following two packages were used. Install following their documentation.

• Gym-Eplus
  • This package is an OpenGym AI wrapper for EnergyPlus.
  • The demonstration in this repo uses EnergyPlus version 8.6, but the Gym-plus package is applicable to any EnergyPlus version 8.x.
• mpc.torch
  • This package is a fast and differentiable model predictive control solver for PyTorch.

Install other packages by,

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

(To be Confirmed)

Set up Simulation Environments

• Read the documentation of Gym-Eplus on setting up simulation environments.
• Place the model and weather files in the eplus_env folder under the corresponding location in the Gym-Eplus folder.
• Register the environments following this table. A __init__.py for registeration is included. But, check that it matches your own file placement.

Environment Name	Model File (*.idf)	Configuration File (*.cfg)	Weather File (*.epw)
5Zone-sim_TMY2-v0	5Zone_Default.idf	variables_Default.cfg	pittsburgh_TMY2.epw
5Zone-control_TMY3-v0	5Zone_Control.idf	variables_Control.cfg	pittsburgh_TMY3.epw
5Zone-sim_TMY3-v0	5Zone_Default.idf	variables_Default.cfg	pittsburgh_TMY3.epw

Overview

An example is provided here, which provides more details.

gnu-rl's Issues

ImportError: module 'eplus_env.envs' has no attribute 'EplusEnv'

hi:
The following error is reported when I execute the imit_ep.py program. "ImportError: module 'eplus_env.envs' has no attribute 'EplusEnv'
"

How do you train your model

Hi:
Control the central air conditioning temperature constant, how to use the cooling water temperature, frozen water temperature, outdoor temperature, water flow rate and other data training model
