        # 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. The first public feature released in this

        version is 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). For a list of features

        currently in development see the [In development](#in-development) section.

        

        ## In development

        

        Many features are still in development and will become public as the development process continues. Here is a short

        overview of features that we are excited to release soon:

        

        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.

        2. Database archetype creation: From open-source building model data sources such as the TABULA database, construct a

        building template and use in UMI. Variabilty in the parameters could be achieved to effectively pick out templates

        that follow a statistical distribution or a known distribution for some parameters in your area.
