Components and Relationships
Once a Component has been created, it can be saved to local and online Building Component Libraries (BCLs) for web-enabled storing and sharing. (At this time, only select BCL users have permissions to upload, but this capability is to be extended to all users in time.) Components plus Relationships are the preferred method for specifying and swapping out groups of related ModelObjects (e.g. constructions, schedules, etc.) in higher-level libraries such as standardsinterface and analysis. Like Attributes, Relationships provide access to a related getter (required), setter (optional), and reset (optional) method using a single string. Unlike Attributes, the Relationship methods all work off of ModelObjects (not simple alpha or numeric data).

	Method for creating sharable Model snippets. More...

Attributes
A single string provides access to a related getter (required), setter (optional), and reset (optional) method for simple pieces of data such as a ThermalZone's lighting power density or a fan's efficiency. Attributes are the preferred method for accessing basic data (double, int, bool, and string) in higher-level libraries such as standardsinterface and analysis. See the OpenStudio Utilities library documentation for information on the Attribute class.

Detailed Description

Base class for the OpenStudio Building Model hierarchy.

Derives from WorkspaceObject, just as Model derives from Workspace. Each concrete class in the hierarchy wraps a specific IddObject. (See the OpenStudio Utilities and Utilities Idd documentation for information on Workspace, WorkspaceObject, and IddObject.)
