Workflows

These are Python scripts that orchestrate the flow of creating a digital twin, running the required simulation(s), and then doing something with the results. Examples are EnergyPlus Workflow and the Monthly Energy Balance Workflow.

CITYanalyzer is a utility that runs a specified Workflow(s) across an instance of a digital twin, collects the results, and stores them in a PostgreSQL database for future use. It currently supports running the Monthly Energy Balance Workflow across all the buildings in Montreal and storing the resulting demands. We plan for it to also run the EnergyPlus Workflow and store hourly demands.
