OpenStudio-ERI version 1.5.2 has been released. The OpenStudio-ERI workflow calculates an Energy Rating Index (ERI) using the Department of Energy's OpenStudio/EnergyPlus building simulation platform. The open-source workflow is intended to be used by residential software tools that provide a HPXML building description file.

OpenStudio-ERI v1.5.2 uses OpenStudio v3.5.0, EnergyPlus v22.2.0, and a proposed HPXML v4.0. Please visit the OpenStudio-ERI v1.5.2 documentation for instructions on how to get started, how to connect software tools to the workflow, etc. The full set of US TMY3 weather files can be obtained from here.
