R package brick, version 0.10.0

CRAN status R build status codecov r-universe

Purpose and Functionality

This building stock model represents residential and commercial buildings at customisable regional and temporal resolution. The building stock is quantified in floor area and distinguished by building type (SFH/MFH) and location (rural/urban). In each building category, construction cohorts are tracked explicitly. This allows to characterise buildings specifically for each subset of buildings. The evolution of the building stock follows from the flows of constructed, renovated and demolished buildings and is optimised under cost minimisation with a benefit for heterogeneity in the choice of construction and renovation alternatives. This benefit captures heterogeneity in the preferences of the agents and the building structure.

Installation

For installation of the most recent package version an additional repository has to be added in R:

r options(repos = c(CRAN = "@CRAN@", pik = "https://rse.pik-potsdam.de/r/packages")) The additional repository can be made available permanently by adding the line above to a file called .Rprofile stored in the home folder of your system (Sys.glob("~") in R returns the home directory).

After that the most recent version of the package can be installed using install.packages:

r install.packages("brick")

Package updates can be installed using update.packages (make sure that the additional repository has been added before running that command):

r update.packages()

abstract: This building stock model represents residential and commercial buildings
  at customisable regional and temporal resolution. The building stock is quantified
  in floor area and distinguished by building type (SFH/MFH) and location (rural/urban).
  In each building category, construction cohorts are tracked explicitly. This allows
  to characterise buildings specifically for each subset of buildings. The evolution
  of the building stock follows from the flows of constructed, renovated and demolished
  buildings and is optimised under cost minimisation with a benefit for heterogeneity
  in the choice of construction and renovation alternatives. This benefit captures
  heterogeneity in the preferences of the agents and the building structure.
