Class Method Details

.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

.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.
