ComStock

ComStock is an NREL model of the U.S. commercial building stock. The model takes some building characteristics from the
U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Commercial Prototype Building Models and Commercial Reference Building. However,
unlike many other building stock models, ComStock also combines these with a variety of additional public- and
private-sector data sets. Collectively, this information provides high-fidelity building stock representation with a
realistic diversity of building characteristics.

This repository contains the source code used to build and execute ComStock models, including upgrade scenarios. In
addition, the sampling of buildings characteristics used for the initial ComStock (V1.0) release is provided. The ComStock model is under active calibration and development, which is publicly visible on this repository.

Execution of the ComStock workflow is managed through the buildstockbatch repository, a shared asset of ResStock and ComStock,
specifically developed to scale to execution of tens of millions of simulations through multiple infrastructure
providers.

The dataset output from the initial ComStock (V1.0) release can be found at the accompanying
ComStock data viewer website and additional information about ComStock found on the
NREL Buildings Website. For more details about ongoing model development
please consult the End Use Load Profiles website.

ComStock is a direct result of the NREL residential stock modeling tool
ResStock (recipient of a
R&D100 award)
and was inspired by the high-fidelity solar & storage adoption model dGen.
Additionally, this tool would not be possible without the decades of work undertaken by the
OpenStudio and EnergyPlus visionaries and contributors,
significant funding, feedback and support from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power,
and the Department of Energy's Building Technology Office
ongoing support of and investment in building energy modeling software.

Usage

ComStock is under an open source license. See LICENSE.txt in this directory.
You are welcome to use this repository for your own use. However, we do not provide technical support. Please refer to our technical assistance documentation instead. We strongly suggest and support using the public datasets instead of attempting to run millions of building energy models yourself.
