Template Definition and Assignment¶
Workflow for creating building archetypes (templates) and assigning them to buildings in your dataset.
Overview¶
Template definition and assignment is a critical step that maps your building data to representative energy models (archetypes). This workflow covers creating archetypes, defining assignment rules, and applying them to buildings.
Step 1: Load Data¶



Step 2: Load Archetypes (Templates)¶

Step 3: Create Rules¶

Step 4: Visualize Rules¶

Step 5: Export Rules¶

Next Steps¶
After assigning archetypes:
- Running and Calibrating - Run energy simulations
- Archetype Object - Learn about archetype structure
- Archetype Assignment Rule - Rule specifications
