PROFILE
Philip R. White
Philip White contributed to the NREL/resstock repository by developing and refining configuration management and data engineering solutions for energy modeling workflows. Over six months, he delivered features such as YAML-based local and scenario testing setups, detailed HVAC and EV upgrade configurations, and new buildstock data resources using YAML, CSV, and TSV formats. His work emphasized maintainability and reproducibility, introducing standardized nomenclature, documentation, and testing isolation to reduce misconfiguration risks. By expanding climate-specific modeling and aligning upgrade terminology, Philip enabled more accurate simulations and streamlined onboarding, demonstrating depth in data configuration, technical writing, and workflow automation within complex modeling environments.

May 1, 2025Month: 2025-05 — NREL/resstock: Delivered a key feature to improve climate-specific modeling for cold climate ASHPs. Implemented detailed performance data and heating efficiency parameters for cold climate ASHPs, expanded configuration options in sdr_upgrades_tmy3_v2.yml, and updated options_lookup.tsv to include metrics for both ducted and non-ducted systems in cold conditions. This enables more accurate energy-use projections and supports better decision-making for cold-climate retrofits and upgrades. The change is encapsulated in commit 5292186dc491fc642c5313883e79a0c99c28d4e6.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 monthly summary: Delivered EV Adoption Upgrade Packages for the SDR System in the NREL/resstock repo, enabling enhanced modeling of EV-related energy efficiency upgrades. Implemented three upgrade scenarios (EV ownership with L2 charger, EV ownership with L1 charger, and EV ownership with L2 charger plus an efficiency scale) to improve the SDR system's ability to model, track, and analyze energy efficiency improvements associated with EV adoption. This work provides a foundation for scenario planning, cost/benefit analysis, and informed decision-making for EV-related upgrades.
