Create prototype building for NECB (Canada)

I'm trying to create a DOE prototype building from the measure "Create DOE Prototype Building" for NECB 2011 (Canada).

I have a local instance of the measure because I had to correct the code, I had the following error: "wrong number of arguments (given 5, expected 0; required keywords: template, building_type, epw_file)". So I passed these 3 arguments in the function prototype_creator.model_create_prototype_model(). The error disappeared after this modification.

But now, I have the following error: "File does not exist: :/ruby/2.7.0/gems/openstudio-standards-0.2.14/lib/openstudio-standards/standards/necb/NECB2011/data/geometry/SmallOffice.osm". I suppose that this file does not exist in the embedded openstudio-standards gem.

I've already tried the steps recommended in the link: CLI reference in order to install a local gem, but still no success.

Thank you for your help!

The DOE prototype model measure cannot be used with the NECB rulesets. They use entirely separate workflows and data sources within the gem.

I know this was answered 2 years ago, but how does one go about creating a prototype NECB building using the measure?

The isn't a measure to create the NECB prototypes, nor plans to make one.

However, you could use the method used to test NECB model generation in openstudio-standards, which is the same codebase as the 90.1 create typical methods. Write a ruby script to call the create_model() method. See the example tests that call this method for allowable inputs.

Thanks for the idea. I'll have a look through that method and see what I can come up with. I've also been looking through the BTAP libraries in the openstudio-standards libraries. These seem to have all the data I would need (schedules, constructions, OA loads and space types).
