OpenStudio SDK is another feature within the ecosystem of OpenStudio tools designed for open-source building energy modeling. OpenStudio SDK is both a Software Development Kit (SDK) and a Command Line Interface (CLI). Conceptually, OpenStudio SDK provides an Application Programming Interface (API) to access the EnergyPlus modeling engine. This interface provides many benefits such as a stable, version-controlled interface, space typology abstractions that make it easier for end-users to model buildings, and language bindings in Ruby, Python and C-Sharp to make it more accessible to users familiar with these languages. The CLI is a powerful, cross-platform tool that allows users to run OpenStudio based workflows on supported architectures such as Linux, Windows and Mac.
