Functions

building_dimension(epJSON_object, h, w, l, ...)	_summary_
calcular_centro(ventana)
effective_thermal_capacity(epJSON_object)	The effective_thermal_capacity function calculates the total effective thermal capacity of a building based on the construction materials and surface areas specified in an EnergyPlus JSON object.
fenestration_area(epJSON_object, fenestration)	_summary_
find_dict_key_by_nested_key(key, lists_dict)	_summary_
generate_occupancy_schedule(input_path, ...)	Generates an updated occupancy schedule based on typical residential patterns.
generate_variated_schedule(input_path, ...)	Generates a new CSV with variations in schedule data.
generate_variated_schedule_with_shift(...[, ...])	Generates a new CSV with variations and optional time shift in schedule data.
inertial_mass_calculation(env_config)	The function reads the epjson file path from the env_config dictionary.
material_area(epJSON_object, nombre_superficie)	_summary_
random_building_config(env_config)	This method define the path to the epJSON file.
u_factor(epJSON_object)	This function select all the building surfaces and fenestration surfaces and calculate the global U-factor of the building, like EnergyPlus does.
u_factor_calculation(env_config)	The u_factor_calculation function calculates the U-factor (a measure of heat transfer through a building element) based on the provided environment configuration (env_config).
validate_properties(obj, expected_types)	Enhanced version that supports Union types and optional properties
variable_checking(epJSON_file)	This function check if the epJSON file has the required variables.
window_size_epJSON(epJSON_object, window, ...)	Given a epJSON_object, return another epJSON_object with diferent size of windows.
