Tweaks 'genConstruction' (tested) #7

brgix · 2025-08-05T15:18:35Z

Around 40-odd typos (and other oddities) were identified in the original Ruby implementation of OSut, while developing this Python counterpart. In some cases, these are simple fixes in the Ruby code (no impact on the Python implementation). In other cases (like this first commit), they reveal weaknesses (to fix), such as not adequately catching bad user input. Over the next day or so, a number of such fixes are expected to be introduced, before re-releasing an upcoming pyOSut v0.6.1.

    elif specs["type"] == "window":
-        a["glazing"]["u"   ]  = specs["uo"]
+        a["glazing"]["u"   ]  = u if u else uo()["window"]


A user could set a glazing assembly's specs["uo"] to None. This is caught and reset here.

brgix · 2025-08-05T15:36:32Z

src/osut/osut.py

-    if not a["glazing"]:
-        ro = 1 / specs["uo"] - film()[specs["type"]] if specs["uo"] else 0
+    if u and not a["glazing"]:
+        ro = 1 / u - flm


For opaque construction, adjusting insulating layer thickness (to meet a requested assembly Uo factor) is skipped entirely if the requested Uo isn't:

successfully converted to a float

within postulated (acceptable) range

+        self.assertEqual(len(c.layers()), 1)

+        r = osut.rsi(c)
+        self.assertAlmostEqual(r, 1/osut.uo()["skylight"], places=3)


In the case of fenestrated assemblies, an invalid Uo request is ignored and the glazing assembly inherits a default OSut Uo (here 3.5 W/m2.K for a skylight).

More appropriate.

+        values = openstudio.createVector([22.78] * 8760)


OSut enabled ScheduleFixedInterval checks, e.g.:

min/max setpoint temperatures

is space UNCONDITIONED, etc.

Yet no unit test had been in place.

Harmonizing with Ruby test.

Stress-test: when requested floor plates (input) aren't dictionaries.

-    # if xa1b2.length() < CN.TOL2:
-    #     if isPointAlongSegment(a1, [a2, b2]): return None
-    #     if isPointAlongSegment(a2, [a1, b2]): return None
-


Now redundant checks.

brgix · 2025-08-09T19:35:45Z

src/osut/osut.py

    except:
-        return oslg.mismatch("n unique points", n, int, mth, CN.DBG, v)
+        oslg.mismatch("n points", n, int, mth, CN.DBG)
+        n = 0


There are 3 OSut functions that take in n as argument:

uniques(pts, n=0):

collinear(pts, n=0)

noncollinears(pts, n=0)

... where n is an (optional) user-requested number of points to return. For instance, a user may request the first 3 points of a hexagon (6 points) to determine a plane equation.

Unfortunately, all three functions did not share the same validation checks and treatment of n - an inconsistency and source of confusion. Furthermore, DEBUG or ERROR messages shouldn't be logged when users incorrectly guess in advance what the admissible range of points may be. So these changes:

reduce the volume a bit

harmonize the treatment of n across all three methods

introduces stress tests

+        for vt in pts.vertices():
+            pt = openstudio.Point3d(vt.x(), vt.y(), vt.z())
+            v.append(pt)
+        return v


No point in validating planar surface .vertices() individually.

-    if not isSegment(sg):
-        return oslg.mismatch("segment", sg, cl2, mth, CN.DBG, False)
-
+    if not isSegment(sg): return False


Lowering the log volume: isPointAlongSegment calls isSegment, which in turn calls p3Dv. The latter will log an inadmissible object.

brgix · 2025-08-11T12:25:31Z

src/osut/osut.py

        return oslg.empty("segments", mth, CN.DBG, False)
    if not isinstance(p0, cl1):
-        return oslg.mismatch("point", p0, cl, mth, CN.DBG, False)
+        return oslg.mismatch("point", p0, cl1, mth, CN.DBG, False)


Oops. No cl variable.

brgix · 2025-08-11T12:26:59Z

tests/test_osut.py

+        # Valid case #1: a single Point3d.
+        vtx = osut.p3Dv(p0)
+        self.assertTrue(isinstance(vtx, openstudio.Point3dVector))
+        self.assertEqual(vtx[0], p0) # same object ID


All 4 valid p3Dv use cases systematically return an openstudio.Point3dVector (and not occasionally a list).

    # A bounded box's 'height', at its narrowest, is its 'width'.
-    return height(box)
+    return height(res["box"])


Missing key piece.

tests/test_osut.py

+        # Achtung! The function can be time consuming (multiple iterations) for
+        # very convoluted spaces (e.g. long corridors with multiple concavities).
+        self.assertAlmostEqual(osut.spaceHeight(fine), 8.53, places=2)
+        self.assertAlmostEqual(osut.spaceWidth(fine), 21.33, places=2)


The value returned by spaceHeight (8.53 m) corresponds to the tallest floor-to-ceiling distance (along Z-axis).

The floor section circumscribed (and crisscrossed) with red dotted lines corresponds to the largest bounded box that fits in the (large) L-shaped floor surface. The length of the narrowest edge of this bounded box (21.33 m) is what spaceWidth returns.

brgix · 2025-08-12T12:32:17Z

tests/test_osut.py

+        self.assertAlmostEqual(osut.alignedHeight(floor), 6.88, places=2)
+        self.assertAlmostEqual(osut.alignedWidth(floor), 8.22, places=2)
+        self.assertAlmostEqual(osut.spaceHeight(openarea), 3.96, places=2)
+        self.assertAlmostEqual(osut.spaceWidth(openarea), 3.77, places=2)


in red: full height of space, including skylight wells

in green: width of bounding box of space floor(s) ... outline is very approximate!

in blue: width of largest bounded box that can fit within grouped floor surfaces

The latter is retained here as the most adequate measure of what could be considered a room's width, e.g. for LPD adjustment calculations.
