Writing EnergyPlus Measures

Is there a methodology for writing EnergyPlus measures that can be run without OpenStudio? For example, replacing all the constructions in the .idf file with a single, new construction.

What's your specific reason or use case for not using OpenStudio? Generally EnergyPlus Measures are meant for EnergyPlus features that aren't yet available in OpenStudio, but your example can be accomplished by running these BCL measures in the OS app:

Are you interested in running OpenStudio Measures without a graphical interface? We are working on a command line interface for running measures.

I am working with the ASHRAE Prototype EnergyPlus models. Correct me if I am wrong but I don't believe I can import these models into OpenStudio hence my query about EnergyPlus measures.
