*Note:* [*OpenStudio Standards*](https://github.com/NREL/openstudio-standards/) *are developed by the US.* [*National Renewable Energy Laboratory*](https://www.nrel.gov) *(NREL)'s OpenStudio Team. It includes ASHRAE 90.1 baseline model's program types and HVAC system templates. We convert them to* [*Honeybee Schema*](https://www.ladybug.tools/honeybee-schema/model.html) *standard format so it becomes one of the trusted data sources that we can use across our entire eco-system.*
