List of potential updates to the class project from @nllong
https://nrel.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/URBANoptCollab/Shared%20Documents/UO%20ESBE%20Workshop%20Files/ESBE%20III%20Based%20Notes%20on%20Improvements.docx?d=wc4776e74ea9d4702955b293a6df44bc7&csf=1&web=1&e=dcmxv5

• Need to support switchable units (global switch in UO)

• The view model measure doesn't appear to work in the ClassProject file

• Move the diverse analysis out of activity 1 and introduce later in the workflow (potentially during the demand flexibility section)

• Having multiple working directories (coincident and diverse) is difficult to manage and defeats the purpose of everything being in a UO project—no longer easy to compare different scenarios.

• Include a few additional measures to the ClassProject: Add window U-factor and SHGC measure; Need measure to reduce gas usage in restaurants

• (For ESBE only) Renumber the activities (ideally the order should be)

  1. software installation
  2. running URBANopt (quick start)
  3. manual EEMs for the entire district
  4. PAT & individual optimization
  5. optimized district
  6. DERs
  7. DF and temporal schedule diversification
