v6.2 to v7.0
############

This release is coordinated with `OpenStudio-HEScore
v2.0 <https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio-HEScore/releases/tag/v2.0>`_.

What's New
==========

Envelope
--------

-  EPS wall type will now be selected if there is any continuous insulation on
   the wall, not just if it has the ``InsulationMaterial/Rigid`` subelement. See
   :ref:`wood-frame-walls`.
-  Assembly R-values can be used in for :ref:`floors <floor-insulation>`,
   :ref:`attics <attic-rvalues>`, :ref:`roofs <roof-rvalues>`, and :ref:`walls
   <wall-construction>`.
-  More R-values are now available in the HEScore construction codes for floors,
   attics, roofs, and walls. No action is required. Existing HPXML elements will
   be translated accordingly.
-  A blower door test no longer requires the
   ``AirInfiltrationMeasurement/TypeOfInfiltrationMeasurement`` element. If a
   CFM50 or ACH50 value is reported, it will be used. See :ref:`blower-door-test`.
-  Added support for knee walls. See :ref:`knee-walls`.
-  Either an ``AirInfiltrationMeasurement`` or ``AirSealingMeasurement`` element
   is now required.
-  Ducts in the garage will now be translated to unvented crawlspace in HEScore.
   See :ref:`ductlocationmapping`.

HVAC
----

-  Insulated ducts can now be specified by either the
   ``DuctInsulationThickness`` or the ``DuctInsulationMaterial`` elements. See
   :ref:`duct-insulation`.
-  Additional duct locations are now available. See :ref:`ductlocationmapping`.
-  Duct blaster measurements can be used to describe duct leakage. See :ref:`duct-leakage-measurements`.

Water Heating
-------------

-  The maximum allowed EF for a tank type water heater is now 0.95, and the
   maximum allowed EF for a tankless water heater is 0.99. Electric heat pump
   water heaters will continue to allow EFs between 1.0 and 4.0 inclusive.

PV
--

-  PV Tilt is translated and used in HEScore. See :ref:`panel-tilt`.
-  Number of Panels is now being translated from HPXML v3 files. See
   :ref:`number-of-panels`.
