Read HVAC Sizing
This component parses an .eio file from an energy simulation and brings in the sizes of all of the HVAC equipment.
Inputs
| Name | ID | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eio File | _eioFile | The file address of the eio file that comes out of the "Honeybee_Lookup EnergyPlus Folder" component. | Goo |
| Keywords | keywords_ | Optional keywords that will be used to search through the outputs. | Goo |
Outputs
| Name | ID | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zone Peak Load Objs | zonePeakLoadObjs | Text describing the meaning of the zonePeakLoadVals below. | Goo |
| Zone Peak Load Vals | zonePeakLoadVals | The sum of the zone's peak sensible loads on the design days. These are eventually used to size the HVAC equipment that delivers heating/cooling to the zones. | Goo |
| Zone Sizing Objs | zoneSizingObjs | Text describing the meaning of the zoneSizingValues below. | Goo |
| Zone Sizing Values | zoneSizingValues | The zone's peak sensible loads multiplied by their respective design "safety" factors (set on the "Energy Simulation Par" component). These safety factors are used to slightly oversize zone heating/cooling equipment and is standard ASHRAE practice. | Goo |
| System Sizing Objs | systemSizingObjs | Text describing the meaning of the systemSizingVals below. | Goo |
| System Sizing Vals | systemSizingVals | Values denoting the size of various central HVAC system elemts (like the primary air loop flow rates). | Goo |
| Component Siz Objs | componentSizObjs | Text describing the meaning of the componentSizVals below. | Goo |
| Component Siz Vals | componentSizVals | Values denoting the size of various zone HVAC components (like zone terminal sizes, heating/cooling coil sizes, lengths of chilled beams, etc.). | Goo |
| Cool Design Day Load | coolDesignDayLoad | The sum of the load that must be reomved from the space at every timestep of the cooling design day. | Goo |
| Heat Design Day Load | heatDesignDayLoad | The sum of the load that must be added to the space at every timestep of the heating design day. | Goo |
