################################ Catalog Factories ################################ Catalog factories are special types of factories that use archetypes in conjunction with the Import Factories to homogenize the data in the CITYhub standard format. The Catalog Factories provide features that act as lookup tables allowing for efficient search and access to predefined archetypes. Currently, the following Catalog Factories are available: - :ref:`construction_catalog_factory` - :ref:`usage_catalog_factory` - :ref:`energy_systems_catalog_factory` - :ref:`co2_analysis_catalog_factory` - :ref:`costs_catalog_factory` .. note:: For a comprehensive breakdown of the buildings parameters the Catalog Factories are responsible for populating, see the section on :doc:`import_factories`. .. _construction_catalog_factory: ******************************** Construction Catalog Factory ******************************** The Construction Catalog Factory contains the catalogs responsible for defining construction related information of buildings.
