OpenStudio Application Version 1.2.0 and OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in Version 1.2.0

Release Notes - 2021-06-08

The OpenStudio Coalition is proud to announce the releases of OpenStudio Application v1.2.0 and OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in v1.2.0. These releases are based on OpenStudio SDK v3.2.0 which uses EnergyPlus v9.5.0.

Overview

Following an important announcement related to future development of the OpenStudio Application released in September 2019 (A Shift in BTO’s BEM Strategy: A New Future for the OpenStudio Application), this release marks the second major release of the OpenStudio Application and OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in by the OpenStudio Coalition.
Going forward, the OpenStudio SDK will continue to be distributed and released by NREL and U.S. DOE two times per year, in April and October. The OpenStudio SDK includes the C++ SDK, Ruby API, Command Line Interface (CLI), OpenStudio Standards, and integrated EnergyPlus and Radiance packages.

The OpenStudio Coalition will be distributing and releasing new versions of the OpenStudio Application and OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in as new versions of the OpenStudio SDK are released. Development of the OpenStudio Application has moved to openstudiocoalition/OpenStudioApplication and development of the OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in has moved to openstudiocoalition/openstudio-sketchup-plugin.

OpenStudio Application Version 1.2.0 and OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in Version 1.2.0 are the second major releases of these programs distributed by the OpenStudio Coalition. Notable changes include:

  • Update to OpenStudio SDK v3.2.0 and EnergyPlus v9.5.0
  • Update to Ruby 2.7.2 for compatibility with SketchUp 2021
    • OpenStudio Application v1.2.0 is compatible with SketchUp 2021
    • OpenStudio Application v1.1.0 is compatible with SketchUp 2019-2020
  • Improvements to GridView performance for larger models
    • Displaying the Surfaces tab for example is now 3 times faster
  • Add support for ZoneHVAC:CoolingPanel:RadiantConvective:Water, Humidifier:Stream:Gas, Fan:ComponentModel, Output:Diagnostics, and Output:Table:SummaryReports objects
  • Fix installer and geometry tab on Ubuntu
  • Add ability to start app on specific tab using the OPENSTUDIO_APPLICATION_START_TAB_INDEX environment variable (Feature supported by Ladybug Tools)
  • Updated FloorspaceJS to latest version, and ThreeJS to version r98
  • Update to supported JFrog and NREL conan remotes

Note that PAT and DView are not included in either the SDK or Application installers. You will need to install PAT separately which is distributed on the OpenStudio-PAT GitHub page and DView at the Dview home page.

Installation Notes

OpenStudio Application v1.2.0 is supported on 64-bit Windows 7 – 10, OS X 10.12 – 10.15, Ubuntu 18.04, and Ubuntu 20.04. The OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in v1.2.0 requires OpenStudio Application v1.2.0 and SketchUp 2021.
