Instance Method Details

#add_motorized_oa_damper(min_occ_pct = 0.15, occ_sch = nil) ⇒ Bool

Add a motorized damper by modifying the OA schedule to require zero OA during unoccupied hours. This means that even during morning warmup or nightcyling, no OA will be brought into the building, lowering heating/cooling load. If no occupancy schedule is supplied, one will be created. In this case, occupied is defined as the total percent occupancy for the loop for all zones served.

the system will be considered unoccupied. If not supplied, one will be created based on the supplied occupancy threshold.

Parameters:

  • min_occ_pct (Double) (defaults to: 0.15) —

    the fractional value below which

  • occ_sch (OpenStudio::Model::Schedule) (defaults to: nil) —

    the occupancy schedule.

Returns:

  • (Bool) —

    true if successful, false if not

If the system has an Always-On schedule assigned, a new schedule will be created. In this case, occupied is defined as the total percent occupancy for the loop for all zones served.

#get_occupancy_schedule(occupied_percentage_threshold = 0.05) ⇒ ScheduleRuleset

TODO:

Speed up this method. Bottleneck is ScheduleRule.getDaySchedules

This method creates a schedule where the value is zero when the overall occupancy for all zones on the airloop is below the specified threshold, and one when the overall occupancy is greater than or equal to the threshold. This method is designed to use the total number of people on the airloop, so if there is a zone that is continuously occupied by a few people, but other zones that are intermittently occupied by many people, the first zone doesn’t drive the entire system.

Parameters:

  • occupied_percentage_threshold (Double) (defaults to: 0.05) —

    the minimum fraction (0 to 1) that counts as occupied

Returns:

  • (ScheduleRuleset) —

    a ScheduleRuleset where 0 = unoccupied, 1 = occupied

#is_economizer_type_allowable(template, climate_zone) ⇒ Bool

Check the economizer type currently specified in the ControllerOutdoorAir object on this air loop is acceptable per the standard.

Returns false if the economizer type is not allowable.

Parameters:

  • template (String) —

    valid choices: ‘DOE Ref Pre-1980’, ‘DOE Ref 1980-2004’, ‘90.1-2004’, ‘90.1-2007’, ‘90.1-2010’, ‘90.1-2013’

  • climate_zone (String) —

    valid choices: ‘ASHRAE 169-2006-1A’, ‘ASHRAE 169-2006-1B’, ‘ASHRAE 169-2006-2A’, ‘ASHRAE 169-2006-2B’,

Returns:

  • (Bool) —

    Returns true if allowable, if the system has no economizer or no OA system.

TODO:

Instead of requiring the input of whether a system has DDC control of VAV terminals or not, determine this from the system itself. This may require additional information be added to the OpenStudio data model.

Determine if static pressure reset is required for this system. For 90.1, this determination needs information about whether or not the system has DDC control over the VAV terminals.

#set_economizer_integration(template, climate_zone) ⇒ Bool

Note:

this method assumes you previously checked that an economizer is required at all via #is_economizer_required

For systems required to have an economizer, set the economizer to integrated on non-integrated per the standard.

Parameters:

  • template (String) —

    valid choices: ‘DOE Ref Pre-1980’, ‘DOE Ref 1980-2004’, ‘90.1-2004’, ‘90.1-2007’, ‘90.1-2010’, ‘90.1-2013’

  • climate_zone (String) —

    valid choices: ‘ASHRAE 169-2006-1A’, ‘ASHRAE 169-2006-1B’, ‘ASHRAE 169-2006-2A’, ‘ASHRAE 169-2006-2B’,

Returns:

  • (Bool) —

    returns true if successful, false if not

if the proposed model had multiple fans (supply, return, exhaust, etc.) return [Bool] true if successful, false if not.

#system_fan_brake_horsepower(include_terminal_fans = true, template = "ASHRAE 90.1-2007") ⇒ Double

Determine the total brake horsepower of the fans on the system with or without the fans inside of fan powered terminals.

Parameters:

  • include_terminal_fans (Bool) (defaults to: true) —

    if true, power from fan powered terminals will be included

  • template (String) (defaults to: "ASHRAE 90.1-2007") —

    valid choices: ‘DOE Ref Pre-1980’, ‘DOE Ref 1980-2004’, ‘90.1-2004’, ‘90.1-2007’, ‘90.1-2010’, ‘90.1-2013’

Returns:

  • (Double) —

    total brake horsepower of the fans on the system units = horsepower

#total_cooling_capacity ⇒ Double

TODO:

Change to pull water coil nominal capacity instead of design load; not a huge difference, but water coil nominal capacity not available in sizing table.

TODO:

Handle all additional cooling coil types. Currently only handles CoilCoolingDXSingleSpeed, CoilCoolingDXTwoSpeed, and CoilCoolingWater

Get the total cooling capacity for the air loop

Returns:

  • (Double) —

    total cooling capacity units = Watts (W)
