Let’s go over each step from uploading your files to downloading the umi project at the very end.

Upload GIS file

Todo: Zipped Files (No internal folder). Give an example how to make a good zip file. Todo: Can upload geojson directly.

Attribute Grouping

Unique Identifier (ID)

Building Height [m]

Primary Grouping

Secondary Grouping can be N/A

Organize Buildings

Sort buildings into groups that you wish to be of the same archetype / be assigned the same building template for the simulation.

todo: Range editing

It is possible to not select any templates.

In this case, the umi project will not contain any Template Library Files and a user can import one of their own. In Rhino, the following warning will be shown:

Assign Values and Templates

Assign building templates to each of the groups you identified.

It is also possible to input the template names manually. For users who wish to assign templates by name, this can now be done at step 4 ( Organize Buildings) under the ArchetypeID column. The name must match perfectly the building template name in the UMI Template Library File. Then users can go directly to the download umi project page without choosing any templates.

Verify and Export

Verify and download the UMI model of your building stock. The table bellow is a summary of simulation parameters for each building.
