Description

Several model object class names do not match the names of their E+ counterparts. This increases the documentation burden and confuses users.

Different names are justified when the OpenStudio model deviates from the E+ counterpart but we should not be using these when they are one to one.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by inventorying OpenStudio model object class names and comparing them with their EnergyPlus counterparts. Done means the one-to-one names are aligned while names remain distinct where the OpenStudio model deviates.
