Overview

This class is abstract.

This abstract class holds methods that many versions of DEER share. If a method in this class is redefined by a subclass, the implementation in the subclass is used.

#air_loop_hvac_economizer_type_allowable?(air_loop_hvac, climate_zone) ⇒ Bool

Check the economizer type currently specified in the ControllerOutdoorAir object on this air loop is acceptable per the standard. Based on the MASControl rules, it appears that only NoEconomizer and FixedDryBulb are allowed.

Returns false if the economizer type is not allowable.

Returns:

  • (Bool) —

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

#space_infiltration_rate_75_pa(space) ⇒ Double

Determine the base infiltration rate at 75 PA. In the MASControl2 rules, there is BDL code which states that the value is 0.038 cfm/ft2 of perimeter wall area at typical building pressures. This translates to 0.338921 cfm/ft2 of perimeter wall area at 75Pa using the assumptions from the DOE Prototypes.

defaults to no infiltration.

Returns:
