BCL Viewer Human Readable Descriptions

[Ski90Moo]

Enhancement Request

It would be really helpful if the Readme files or human readable description and/or human readable description of modeling approach could be displayed when searching the BCL. As it is, the data displayed is not very descriptive or helpful.

This is also a problem with the BCL browser online. Many of the descriptions are cut off; you must download the measure to actually figure out what it is.

Detailed Description

Possible Implementation

Definitely doable, and definitely a good idea. Thanks for the report.

[macumber]

Thanks, I agree. I'd also like the UUID, VersionUID, and date changed listed

Looking into this, I filed:

• Searching the BCL for components and measures should be more helpful (and more up to date): add version_modified, repo_url to BCLSearchResult NREL/OpenStudio#5125
