The TEASER (Tool for Energy Analysis and Simulation for Efficient Retrofit) tool allows the creation of archetype buildings as well as the representation of existing buildings and the calculation of simulation parameters for reduced oder models. It is being developed at the E.ON Energy Research center, Institute for Energy Efficient Buildings and Indoor Climate, RWTH Aachen University.

This GitHub page will be used to further develop the library and make it available under the MIT License.

If you have any questions regarding TEASER feel free to contact us at ebc-teaser@eonerc.rwth-aachen.de.

TEASER is released by E.ON Energy Research center, Institute for Energy Efficient Buildings and Indoor Climate, RWTH Aachen University under the MIT License.

Parts of TEASER have been developed within public funded projects and with financial support by BMWi (German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy).

Energy supply of buildings in urban context currently undergoes significant changes. The increase of renewable energy sources for electrical and thermal energy generation will require flexible and secure energy storage and distribution systems. To reflect and consider these changes in energy systems and buildings, dynamic simulation is one key element, in particular when it comes to thermal energy demand on minutely or hourly scale. Sparse and limited access to detailed building information as well as computing times are challenges for building simulation on urban scale. In addition, data acquisition and modelling for Building Performance Simulation (BPS) are time consuming and error-prone. To enable the use of BPS on urban scale we present the TEASER tool, an open framework for urban energy modelling of building stocks. TEASER provides an easy interface for multiple data sources, data enrichment, where necessary and export of ready-to-run Modelica simulation models for [AixLib] (https://github.com/RWTH-EBC/AixLib) and IEA-EBC Annex60.

The current version is 0.3.0, which is a pre-release.

For installation we like to refer you to the README in the [teaser package] (https://github.com/RWTH-EBC/TEASER/blob/master/teaser/README.md) itself.
