Class Method Details

.add_cbecs_hvac_system(model, standard, hvac_system_type, zones) ⇒ Boolean

Adds the HVAC system as derived from the combinations of CBECS 2012 MAINHT and MAINCL fields. Mapping between combinations and HVAC systems per www.nrel.gov/docs/fy08osti/41956.pdf Table C-31

Parameters:

  • model (OpenStudio::Model::Model)

    OpenStudio model object

  • standard (String)

    standard template, e.g. ‘90.1-2013’

  • hvac_system_type (String)

    HVAC system type

  • zones (Array<OpenStudio::Model::ThermalZone>)

    Array of OpenStudio ThermalZone objects

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

    returns true if successful, false if not
