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.

Instance Method Details

#air_loop_hvac_dcv_required_when_erv(air_loop_hvac) ⇒ Object

Determine if the standard has an exception for demand control ventilation when an energy recovery device is present. Unlike ASHRAE 90.1, Title 24 does not have an ERV exception to DCV. This method is a copy of what is in Standards.AirLoopHVAC.rb and ensures ERVs will not prevent DCV from being applied to DEER models.

def air_loop_hvac_dcv_required_when_erv(air_loop_hvac)
  dcv_required_when_erv_present = true
  return dcv_required_when_erv_present
end

#air_loop_hvac_demand_control_ventilation_limits(air_loop_hvac) ⇒ Array<Double>

Determines the OA flow rates above which an economizer is required. Two separate rates, one for systems with an economizer and another for systems without. The small numbers here are to reflect that there is not a minimum airflow requirement in Title 24.

Returns:

  • (Array<Double>) —
    min_oa_without_economizer_cfm, min_oa_with_economizer_cfm

end

#air_loop_hvac_economizer_limits(air_loop_hvac, climate_zone) ⇒ Array<Double>

Determine the limits for the type of economizer present on the AirLoopHVAC, if any. Enthalpy limit is from MASControl3.

Parameters:

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

    air loop

  • climate_zone (String) —

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

Returns:

  • (Array<Double>) —
    drybulb_limit_f, enthalpy_limit_btu_per_lb, dewpoint_limit_f

#space_infiltration_rate_75_pa(space = nil) ⇒ Double

Baseline infiltration rate

In the MASControl2 database DEER_Rules_ProtoDB.db, table ‘BDLRules’, ‘SPACE:INF-FLOW/AREA’ is: “if (#L(rvVertWallArea) < 1 ) then 0.001 else if(#SN(#LSI(C-ZONE-TYPE)) = ”CRAWL“) then 0.075 else 0.038 * #L(rvVertWallArea) / #L(AREA) endif endif” meaning the default DEER infiltation value is 0.038 cfm/ft2 per exterior wall area at typical building pressures. Using the same PNNL prototype assumptions for natural pressure, this correlates to a baseline infiltration rate of 0.3393 cfm/ft2 of exterior wall area at 75Pa. *Note that this implies a baseline infiltration rate ~5 times lower than the PNNL modeling guideline.

Returns:

  • (Double) —

    the baseline infiltration rate, in cfm/ft^2 exterior above grade wall area at 75 Pa
