Pull request overview

This PR primarily addresses errors in the HP RTU measure caused by a bug in the OpenStudio FT. The errors occur when there is a mismatch between heating and cooling speeds, which is allowed in E+, but is incorrectly articulated in the FT causing failure.

The temporary fix is to create 'dummy' speed levels to ensure that the number of speeds for heating and cooling are always equal. The dummy speeds are set to match the parameters of the lowest 'real' speed. For instance, if heating has 2 speeds and cooling has 4, the heating system will be assigned 4 speeds, where the lowest 2 are duplicates of the lowest actual speed.

This workflow should be modified once the OpenStudio FT issue is resolved: NREL/OpenStudio#5277
