.filter_core_zones(thermal_zones) ⇒ Array<OpenStudio::Model::ThermalZone] an array of zones

This method will filter an array of zones that have no external wall passed floors. Note: if you wish to avoid to create an array of spaces, simply put the space variable in [] brackets Ex: ( [space1,space2] )

Parameters:

  • thermal_zones (Array<OpenStudio::Model::ThermalZone] an array of zones) —

    hermal_zones [Array<OpenStudio::Model::ThermalZone] an array of zones

Returns:

  • (Array<OpenStudio::Model::ThermalZone] an array of zones) —

    Array<OpenStudio::Model::ThermalZone] an array of zones

def self.filter_core_zones(thermal_zones)
  array = Array.new()
  thermal_zones.getThermalZones.sort.each do |zone|
    zone.space.each do |space|
      if not space.is_a_perimeter_space?()
        array.push(zone)
        next
      end
    end
  end
  return array
end

.filter_perimeter_zones(thermal_zones) ⇒ Array<OpenStudio::Model::ThermalZone] an array of thermal zones.

This method will filter an array of zones that have an external wall passed floors. Note: if you wish to avoid to create an array of spaces, simply put the space variable in [] brackets Ex: get_all_surfaces_from_spaces( [space1,space2] )

Parameters:

  • thermal_zones (Array<OpenStudio::Model::ThermalZone>) —

    an array of zones

Returns:

  • (Array<OpenStudio::Model::ThermalZone] an array of thermal zones.) —

    Array<OpenStudio::Model::ThermalZone] an array of thermal zones.
