AI Summary: This issue aims to create a `housing_units` table for the `{state}_hp_rates` code, specifically for Rhode Island's ResStock 2024 baseline data. This table will augment standard ResStock metadata with Switchbox-specific details such as utility assignments, precise income, and refined building types, essential for grouping analysis results. The process involves downloading metadata, adapting existing R functions for data transformation, and then saving the curated table.

AI Summary: Research and document reasonable schedule controls for heat pump hot water heaters and heat pump thermostats within the context of a rate design simulation platform. The goal is to determine a simplified yet realistic model for home/away settings and temperature setpoints, considering different device types (minisplits, central heat pumps, HPHW), and documenting the decision-making process and supporting research.
