The release of OpenStudio 2.9.1 brought several refinements to the ecosystem. One of the most critical aspects of any OpenStudio version is its compatibility with the underlying EnergyPlus engine. Version 2.9.1 is paired with EnergyPlus 9.2.0. This alignment ensures that users have access to the physics-based calculations and thermal zones management introduced in that specific engine update.
The suite supports gbXML, allowing users to import geometry from BIM tools (like Revit) and convert it into a valid energy model.
