Hotfix for release 0.5.0

This release is a hot fix for installing TEASER using pip and PyPI.

• changed setup.py
• added init.py
• changed build status badge in README

TEASER Release v0.5.0

This is release v0.5.0

Before using this release you will need to update PyXB to version 1.2.5 to do so use python-enabled command line:

pip install -U pyxb

This is a major release cleaning up the calculation for AixLib and modelica IBPSA (former Annex60) models. After there have been major developments in these models, we had the feeling that TEASERs calculation needed some restructering as well. The parameter calculation for different models (one, two, three or four element) is now encapsulated in specific classes and attached as an attribute to each thermal zone. Library specific calculation for buildings is as well moved to specific classes. All mentionend modules are within the package logic.buildingobjects.calculation.

From this relase on, we do not support all modeling options for AixLib any more, as we had the feeling that they where not used anyway. The only available option for AixLib is a MultiZone model where the number of elements of the zones may be chosen as well as the centralized air handling unit. It will always decouple the resistance for windows, calculate a correction for solar gains of the window and uses internal gains calculation of AixLib. For IBPSA (former Annex 60) model it is still possible to set model options. If you compare old simulation results, please be aware that with this version the night set back for AixLib is by default true (while it was false in other versions). To turn off the night set back please have a look at the module logic.buildingobjects.calculation.aixlib. In addition we revised solar absorption for all used materials, which may also cause differences in the results.

We also changed API functions for archetype generation, please read the docs and look out for warnings if old API functions are used (the old functions will still work, but will be eleminated within the next releases). Further, examples and documentation have been improved.

If you have any questions regarding this release, please contact us at [email protected].

Improvements in this release:

• continuous integration for Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5
• restructured and modular calculation for model and library parameters
• revised values for solar absorption for materials
• night set back is always turned on
• new examples
• new API functions
• improved documention

Updates TEASER to be used with AixLib version 0.4.0

Updates Modelica Templates for AixLib to export models for AixLib version 0.4.0 link

In addition some code cleaning with PEP008

Bugfixes for AixLib version 0.3.2

Bugfixes in exported values for models using AixLib v0.3.2

This will be the last version that support AixLib v0.3.2 use this version if you want to use 'old' ROM from AixLib. See also the release notes of AixLib v0.4.0

Bugfixes for model export

Bugfixes for model export:

• AixLib: coefficients for convection on inner side of walls
• Annex: vectors for areas and lumped resistances

Release v0.4.1 (Bugfixes)

This is a Bugfix release solving two issues:

• #335 Where no empty material class could be handled
• #332 Where no errors/warnings where shown in the GUI

TEASER Release v0.4.0

This is release v0.4.0

Some new features are integrated in TEASER:

• All Teaser objects can be pickled now
• We introduced mechanisms to have backwards compatibility for XML files
• improved CityGML import
• improvements and bug fixes in GUI (e.g. new icons)
• improvements in model export for AixLib and Annex60 Modelica library

Pure facts: 258 commits and 46 closed issues

Bugfixes and folder changes

With this release we have solved a few bugs as well as we now use the users home folder on any machine (Linux or Windows) to create the TEASER OutpurData directory. In addition we specified the pyxb version number to 1.2.4, as the release of pyxb 1.2.5 is not backward compatible.

Solved issues: #272 #290 #294 #295

#296 stays open until we proved that the change of the output folder solves the Linux problem

Bugfix in ThermalZone

This release fixes a bug in the ThermalZone class. It occures when calculating a building more than once and leads to wrong inner wall parameters. Now the parameters are set to default in front of every RC parameter calculation in TEASER.

TRY Weather file AixLib

This releases fixes a AixLib template bug. Now you can specify your weather file in the project class and it will be exported to your buildings models.
