<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">TEASER is an open-source Urban Energy Modelling tool to enable the use of Building Performance Simulation of large building stocks developed by E.ON Energy Research Center, Institute of Energy Efficient Buildings and
Indoor Climate, RWTH Aachen University. TEASER provides a methodology to create full-scale building data sets for single up to thousands of buildings. Therefore the tool uses archetype buildings with minimal input requirements (building function, net leased
area, year of construction and rough cubature) and data enrichment. TEASER holds classes and functions for data acquisition, data enrichment, data manipulation, model parameterization and Modelica code generation. Currently two Reduced Order Models from two
different Modelica libraries are supported (AixLib<span style="color:black">, <a href="https://github.com/RWTH-EBC/AixLib">
https://github.com/RWTH-EBC/AixLib</a> ,</span> and Annex60<span style="color:black">,
<a href="https://github.com/iea-annex60/modelica-annex60">https://github.com/iea-annex60/modelica-annex60</a>
</span>). We provide archetype functionalities for the German building stock, however, TEASER is open to integrate other archetype methodologies. Further highlights are CityGML support and easy to use retrofit options to estimate energy demands. Although in
this state of the development we recommend the use of a script-based interface to TEASER, the release includes a GUI in beta phase. TEASER is pure Python and freely available under MIT license.
</span>We welcome you to take part in the development of TEASER by cloning it from GitHub
