ResDX

Key Features

Major features include capabilities to:
Compare DX system models

Compare residential DX system model implementations and evaluate differences in predicted performance.

Develop and validate new models

Support new model development workflows, including work toward unified models for RESNET software tools.

Calculate standard efficiency ratings

Calculate standard efficiency ratings (e.g., AHRI 210/240) and perform inverse calculations of gross efficiencies from rated efficiencies.

Generate ASHRAE 205 representations

Generate ASHRAE 205-compliant representations for use in interoperable workflows.

Developer-friendly setup and testing

Requires Python 3.8+ and Poetry. Install with `poetry install`. Run tests with `poetry run doit`.
