Document created to perform the following tasks.

• Create a list of all the objects that are used to define a multi-family building in HPXML. Find out which of them have a default value and which objects require inputs from the user.
• Compare the objects and data structure between HPXML and BuildingSync.
• Explore how the HPXMLtoOpenStudio Measure creates the open studio model from the hpxml document.
• What are the assumptions that go into building the multi-family openstudio model.
• How is the process of creating the openstudio model different in buildingSync. When does it make more sense to use buildingsync for generating the OpenStudio model, and when is it favorable to use HPXMtoOpenstudio measure.
