Search for available Constructions within the honeybee energy standards library.

## Inputs

* **keywords**

  Optional keywords to be used to narrow down the output list of constructions. If nothing is input here, all available constructions will be output. 
* **join\_words**

  If False or None, this component will automatically split any strings of multiple keywords (spearated by spaces) into separate keywords for searching. This results in a greater liklihood of finding an item in the search but it may not be appropropriate for all cases. You may want to set it to True when you are searching for a specific phrase that includes spaces. Default: False. 

## Outputs

* **opaque\_constrs**

  A list of opaque constructions within the honeybee energy standards library (filtered by keywords\_ if they are input). 
* **window\_constrs**

  A list of window constructions within the honeybee energy standards library (filtered by keywords\_ if they are input). 
* **shade\_constrs**

  A list of shade constructions within the honeybee energy standards library (filtered by keywords\_ if they are input).
