FlexiB IDA Comparisons Spine Toolbox Project

NOTE! If the workflow doesn't open properly inside the contained Spine Toolbox, try updating the Spine Toolbox by running `git pull` inside the `Spine/Spine-Toolbox` folder and re-running the install.bat script!

FlexiB IDA Comparisons

This folder contains the Spine Toolbox project, including all of the source code and raw data, used for comparing the
performance of ArchetypeBuildingModel.jl to IDA ESBO v1.13 and IDA ICE as done in the manuscript.

In brief, the Spine Toolbox workflow imports and processes the raw IDA ESBO and IDA ICE input data for the ArchetypeBuildingModel.jl, as well as performs demonstration simulations using ArchetypeBuildingModel.jl. Most of the computations are handled via the `master_script.jl`, which automatically runs large sets of simulation parameter sweeps and plots ~21 GB worth of results. Please note that the final figures in the manuscript are a manually selected and refined compilation of the produced figures and aren't produced by this code automatically. 

Key contents

1. `.spinetoolbox/` contains the Spine Toolbox project internals.
2. `data/` contains the source code and raw data necessary for running the ArchetypeBuildingModel.jl.
3. `esbo/` contains the IDA ESBO v1.13 result files used for calibrating the model.
4. `ice/` contains the IDA ICE result files used for the remaining comparisons.

See the enclosed README.md for further information and instructions on its usage.
