Detailed Description

Building derives from ParentObject and is an interface to the OpenStudio IDD object named "Building".

Building is a unique object which parents all Spaces in the model. Conceptually, the Building object represents the envelope shell and everything inside (lighting, equipment, etc). The Building is a child of the Facility object which includes the Building as well as exterior equipment, parking lot lighting, water systems for grounds, etc.
