obgeneration 0.1.5

Occupancy generation models

Occupant Behavior Generation

obgeneration generates annual residential occupant-behavior schedules from a structured occupant profile.

Outputs include:

• occupancy fraction
• lighting usage
• equipment power
• domestic hot water usage
• HVAC setpoints
• window opening fraction

Usage

from obgeneration.model import Occupant
from obgeneration.generator import OccupantBehavior

profile = Occupant.from_json_file("test/unit/input/OB_1.json")
annual = OccupantBehavior.to_OB_annual(
    resolution_mins=15,
    occupant_profile=profile,
)

print(annual.num_occupants)
print(len(annual.occupancy_schedule))

Generator Results

The generator convenience methods return structured result models rather than bare tuples. For example:

from obgeneration.generator import OccupancyGenerator

result = OccupancyGenerator.generate_with_defaults(
    occupancy=profile.occupancy,
    resolution_mins=15,
    rng=42,
)

print(result.peak_value)
print(len(result.schedule))

For explicit assumptions and downstream integration, use generate_result(...):

from obgeneration.generator import (
    ClusterAssumptions,
    OccupancyGenerator,
)

result = OccupancyGenerator.generate_result(
    occupancy=profile.occupancy,
    cluster_assumptions=ClusterAssumptions.default(),
    resolution_mins=15,
    rng=42,
)
