CityLearn V2beta released!

We’re pleased to announce 📣 the launch of CityLearn V2beta. This new release is a significant step towards realizing energy flexibility in smart buildings 🏙️. Check it out at 👉 http://www.citylearn.net

CityLearn is an international open-source community-driven Open AI Gym environment to study grid-interactive smart communities. With the implementation of advanced control systems (MPC, RL), we aim to improve building energy coordination and demand response in cities, and significantly reduce related greenhouse gas emissions 🌐

CityLearn V2beta offers exciting new features: from integration with DOE’s RESSTOCK and EULP databases 🏘️ for energy models of buildings and distributed energy resources, to introducing LSTM models for dynamic building thermal environment 🌡️.

👏 Big shoutout to the core team Kingsley Nweye (The University of Texas at Austin) Kathryn Kaspar (Concordia University) and Giacomo Buscemi (Politecnico di Torino) Their contributions have been crucial to this update 👏.
