Open-FDD Python package (PyPI)

open-fdd (PyPI 4.1+) ships:

  1. ECM engineering (open_fdd.ecm_engineering) — agent-drivable HVAC spreadsheet workbooks + Python benchmarks.
  2. Pandas oracle (open_fdd.rules, open_fdd.analytics, open_fdd.reporting) — vibe19 catalog, analytics helpers, Engineering Findings.

The ECM API fills the same workbook input cells a human engineer would fill. It does not replace the visible spreadsheet calculations.

Production FDD (DataFusion SQL fault detection) lives in the GHCR container stack, not this wheel.

Product freeze / upsell: Engineer upsell brief — open-fdd + PyPI (vibe freeze) — after 2026-07-30, customers see ECM via PyPI → open-fdd, not vibe19/vibe20 tip churn.

Build handoff / golden example: OPENFDD_AGENT_ECM_HANDOFF.md · packaged workbook examples/liberty_dual_ahu/ECM_FULL_PARITY.xlsx.

Install

pip install open-fdd                 # ECM only (stdlib)
pip install "open-fdd[oracle]"       # + pandas rules / analytics
pip install "open-fdd[reporting]"    # + Engineering Findings extras
pip install "open-fdd[vibe19]"       # playground meta-extra

For the FastAPI ECM example:

pip install "open-fdd[ecm-web]"

Oracle rules (pandas)

from open_fdd.rules import RULES, run_rule

Generate a workbook in a few lines

from open_fdd.ecm_engineering import ECMJob

job = (
    ECMJob("Lincoln Middle School")
    .set_global(
        area_ft2=85000,
        electric_rate=0.145,
        gas_rate=0.92,
    )
    .add_ecm(
        "static_pressure_reset",
        fan_kw=55.9,
        hours=4100,
        baseline_speed=0.82,
        proposed_speed=0.67,
    )
    .add_ecm(
        "boiler_reset",
        base_therms=48000,
        base_eff=0.86,
        prop_eff=0.92,
    )
)

# set_many / add_ecm already persist; save() is idempotent on the same path
# (BUG-OFDD-ECM-002) and can also copy to another path.
job.save("Lincoln_Middle_School_ECMs.xlsx")

The resulting XLSX contains the engineering inputs and formulas for human review.

Module names vs calculators

from open_fdd.ecm_engineering import list_ecm_modules, list_calculators

list_ecm_modules()   # names accepted by add_ecm (aliases included)
list_calculators()   # independent Python benchmarks (job.calc), not sheet names

Independent benchmark

from open_fdd.ecm_engineering import ECMJob

job = ECMJob("demo")
result = job.calc(
    "fan_affinity",
    design_kw=55.9,
    hours=4100,
    baseline_speed_fraction=0.82,
    proposed_speed_fraction=0.67,
)

CLI

open-fdd-ecm calculators
open-fdd-ecm demo --out Demo_ECMs.xlsx

Engineering posture

Prefer measured BAS, utility, TAB, nameplate and manufacturer data over defaults. Generic chiller %/°F methods are screening proxies; manufacturer performance maps or calibrated EnergyPlus should replace them when stronger estimates are needed.
