3.3 HVAC System Schemas
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems follow a similar logic to ProgramTypes
and ConstructionSets
in that they are described in detail under their own "hvac"
key in the ModelEnergyProperties"
and referenced by name from the Room
objects to which they are assigned. However, unlike ProgramTypes
and ConstructionSets
, which are each defined by one schema, there are a wide array of different types of HVAC systems that can be used.
Some HVAC systems like the IdealAirSystem
are simple and meant to be applied to only one Room
each. Their schema consists of only a few abstract properties like so:
Other HVAC systems are centralized such that they can be assigned to multiple Rooms
at once. Typically, such systems have many more properties that can be adjusted.
Note that, if a Room
does not have an "hvac"
key or has this value set to nil
, it is assumed to be unconditioned.
