eprllib: use EnergyPlus as an environment for RLlib

This repository provides a set of methods to establish the computational loop of EnergyPlus within a Markov Decision Process (MDP), treating it as a multi-agent environment compatible with RLlib. The main goal is to offer a simple configuration of EnergyPlus as a standard environment for experimentation with Deep Reinforcement Learning.

Installation

To install EnergyPlusRL, simply use pip:

pip install eprllib

Key Features

  • Integration of EnergyPlus and RLlib: This package facilitates setting up a Reinforcement Learning environment using EnergyPlus as the base, allowing for experimentation with energy control policies in buildings.
  • Simplified Configuration: To use this environment, you simply need to provide a configuration in the form of a dictionary that includes state variables, metrics, actuators (which will also serve as agents in the environment), and other optional features.
  • Flexibility and Compatibility: EnergyPlusRL easily integrates with RLlib, a popular framework for Reinforcement Learning, enabling smooth setup and training of control policies for actionable elements in buildings.

Usage

  1. Import eprllib.
  2. Configure EnvConfig to provide a EnergyPlus model based configuration, specifying the parameters required (see eprllib.Env.EnvConfig).
  3. Configure RLlib algorithm to train the policy.
  4. Execute the training using RLlib or Tune.
