Summary of changes
Buildings-900K pretraining dataset
- Added the building simulation metadata files to the dataset, which contain attributes for the original EnergyPlus building energy models used to run the simulations that generated the timeseries. See `Buildings-900K/end-use-load-profiles-for-us-building-stock/2021/resstock_amy2018_release_1/metadata/metadata.parquet` for an example.
- Added the weather files that were used to run each building simulation, for both `AMY2018` and `TMY3`. See [Buildings-900K/end-use-load-profiles-for-us-building-stock/2021/resstock_amy2018_release_1/weather](https://data.openei.org/s3_viewer?bucket=oedi-data-lake&prefix=buildings-bench%2Fv2.0.0%2FBuildingsBench%2FBuildings-900K%2Fend-use-load-profiles-for-us-building-stock%2F2021%2Fresstock_amy2018_release_1%2Fweather%2F) for an example.
BuildingsBench evaluation datasets
- Temperature timeseries data added for each of the 7 benchmark datasets. See [docs](https://nrel.github.io/BuildingsBench/running/#weather-timeseries) for more details.
Library updates
- We primarily updated the dataset classes and training/evaluation scripts to add support for weather timeseries inputs
- Other minor usability improvements
New Transformer model configs for weather timeseries inputs
`TransformerWithGaussian-t-*` only uses temperature timeseries inputs, `TransformerWithGaussian-th-*` only uses temperature and humidity inputs, and `TransformerWithGaussian-weather-*` uses all available weather variables during pretraining.
