Revision history [back]

I don't know of any other good sources besides those you mention, however I do have some experience on creation of my own performance curves for VRF systems.

I was in a situation in which I needed VRF performance curves for EnergyPlus and I was given PDF with performance data for a particular unit from a manufacturer.

Essentially I tried to follow the process outlined by this Florida Solar Energy Center document: http://www.fsec.ucf.edu/en/publications/pdf/fsec-cr-1910-12.pdf

A detailed overview of my process, including code, can be found in this blog post: http://bim-source.com/2012/06/creating-energyplus-vrv-performance-curves-using-python-and-scipy/
