Open-FDD Python package (PyPI)
GitHub Pages: this README is excluded from the docs site (
exclude: README.md). Published overview lives atdocs/ecm/index.md/overview.md— section PyPI agent tools.
open-fdd (PyPI 4.1+) ships:
- ECM engineering (
open_fdd.ecm_engineering) — agent-drivable HVAC spreadsheet workbooks + Python benchmarks. - Pandas oracle (
open_fdd.rules,open_fdd.analytics,open_fdd.reporting) — cookbook 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 (openpyxl)
pip install "open-fdd[oracle]" # + pandas rules
pip install "open-fdd[analytics]" # + analytics helpers (same as oracle)
pip install "open-fdd[reporting]" # + Engineering Findings extras
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
New in 4.2.0: chiller_lockout, load_shed, schedule_align / ahu_sched_align.
Honesty / twin compare export (4.2.0)
job.attach_twin_compare({
"provenance": {"idf_path": "...", "g14_pass": True},
"inputs": [{"name": "lockout_hours", "value": 612, "provenance": "FITTED_FROM_EPLUS"}],
"measures": [{
"measure_id": "ECM-CHILLER-LOCKOUT",
"name": "Chiller OAT lockout",
"eplus_source": "cascade",
"fitted_sheet_kwh": 101580.56,
"eplus_kwh": 101580.56,
"hours_provenance": "FITTED_FROM_EPLUS",
}],
"demand": {"july_weekday_kw": 420, "july_weekend_kw": 280, "loadshed_kw": 365},
})
job.save("honesty.xlsx") # Contents, Measures, … (FITTED ≠ independent validation)
IPMVP change-point / G14 (4.4.3)
from open_fdd.ecm_engineering import fit_changepoint, score_g14_monthly, option_c_savings
Docs: IPMVP change-point & G14. Requires numpy (pip install "open-fdd[oracle]").
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 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.
