New Features

  • Replaced Adobe Flash multimedia platform with JavaScript 3D as the interface for the 3-D graphical display and onscreen interactions of buildings in Full Input mode*
  • Added a capability to identify incorrectly aligned surfaces in the 3D user interface. These would be indicated through a red colored line in the 3D user interface
  • Renamed the audit data reporting platform feature that is being developed to collect, store and report building energy audit data, to 'Audit Template'
  • Updated the Audit Template Quick Start Guide and User Guide
  • Updated the available and required fields in the Audit Template for Atlanta and San Francisco city reports

Simulation Infrastructure Improvements and Fixes

  • Corrected an issue with the distribution type field in air handler units for Parking Garages with Ventilation Only HVAC systems, which caused buildings to fail
  • Corrected an issue with the ERV field in air handler units for Parking Garages with Ventilation Only HVAC systems, which caused buildings to fail
  • Corrected an issue with the display of the Cooling Retrofitted date for Preview buildings
  • Corrected an issue with the display of the HVAC and lighting calculations, N/A checkboxes, and pdf reports for Audit Template buildings

*Note: Asset Score users are now able to view all of the ‘Full Input Mode’ interfaces on PC’s, tablets, and mobile devices. PNNL has replaced Adobe Flash with threeJS to provide 3-D display and interactions. The Flash replacement is to ensure that existing 3-D features and interactions are available across computing platforms using mouse-based interactions. We do not yet recommend interaction with the 3D feature using a touch-screen display because the “drag and drop” function to assign building characteristics to buildings blocks are limited to using mouse-based interactions. Currently, we do not expect the more complex 3-D editing features to be performed using a touch-screen display. As we move forward, we anticipate providing additional features that will make Asset Score a viable tool for mobile / touch-screen usage. The Asset Score team would appreciate your feedback on what tools and capabilities you would find useful to have on a mobile touch-screen device in the field.
