Overview

This class is abstract.

This abstract class holds generic methods that many energy standards would commonly use. Many of the methods in this class apply efficiency values from the OpenStudio-Standards spreadsheet. If a method in this class is redefined by a subclass, the implementation in the subclass is used.

#afue_to_thermal_eff(afue) ⇒ Double

#air_loop_hvac_add_motorized_oa_damper(air_loop_hvac, min_occ_pct = 0.05, occ_sch = nil) ⇒ Boolean

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. If the OA schedule is already other than Always On, will assume that this schedule reflects a motorized OA damper and not change.

Parameters:

  • air_loop_hvac (OpenStudio::Model::AirLoopHVAC) —

    air loop

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

    the fractional value below which the system will be considered unoccupied.

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

    the occupancy schedule. If not supplied, one will be created based on the supplied occupancy threshold.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    returns true if successful, false if not

#air_loop_hvac_apply_economizer_integration(air_loop_hvac, climate_zone) ⇒ Boolean

Note:

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

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

Parameters:

  • air_loop_hvac (OpenStudio::Model::AirLoopHVAC) —

    air loop

  • climate_zone (String) —

    ASHRAE climate zone, e.g. ‘ASHRAE 169-2013-4A’

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    returns true if successful, false if not

#air_loop_hvac_apply_prm_baseline_fan_power(air_loop_hvac) ⇒ Object

TODO:

Figure out how to split fan power between multiple fans if the proposed model had multiple fans (supply, return, exhaust, etc.)

Calculate and apply the performance rating method baseline fan power to this air loop. Fan motor efficiency will be set, and then fan pressure rise adjusted so that the fan power is the maximum allowable. Also adjusts the fan power and flow rates of any parallel PIU terminals on the system. return [Boolean] true if successful, false if not

Parameters:

  • air_loop_hvac (OpenStudio::Model::AirLoopHVAC) —

    air loop

#air_loop_hvac_enable_demand_control_ventilation(air_loop_hvac, climate_zone) ⇒ Boolean

Enable demand control ventilation (DCV) for this air loop. Zones on this loop that require DCV preserve both per-area and per-person OA reqs. Other zones have OA reqs converted to per-area values only so that DCV won’t impact these zones.

Parameters:

  • air_loop_hvac (OpenStudio::Model::AirLoopHVAC) —

    air loop

  • climate_zone (String) —

    ASHRAE climate zone, e.g. ‘ASHRAE 169-2013-4A’

Returns:

    air loop

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    returns true if successful, false if not

#air_loop_hvac_get_occupancy_schedule(air_loop_hvac, occupied_percentage_threshold: 0.05) ⇒ ScheduleRuleset

This method creates a new discrete fractional schedule ruleset. The value is set to one when occupancy across all zones is greater than or equal to the occupied_percentage_threshold, and zero all other times. 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:

  • air_loop_hvac (OpenStudio::Model::AirLoopHVAC) —

    air loop

  • 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
