#applySizingValues ⇒ Object

Takes the values calculated by the EnergyPlus sizing routines and puts them into this object model in place of the autosized fields. Must have previously completed a run with sql output for this to work.

TODO:

determine what to do when the airloop has multiple zones

returns the autosized minimum outdoor air flow rate as an optional double EnergyPlus has a “bug” where if the system is a multizone system, the Minimum Outdoor Air Flow Rate reported in the Component Sizing summary does not include zone multipliers. with different multipliers
