Revision history [back]

You can't currently (in 1.6.0) access the OpenStudio Model from an EnergyPlus Measure (there is currently a feature request filed for this). Also, the EnergyPlus Measures run AFTER the EnergyPlus ExpandObject routine (which is the thing that expands the HVACTemplates into full IDF). What this means is that you'll have to build up the entire dual-duct system in raw IDF, then get pretty clever about finding the zones to attach it to. The difficulty of this task illustrates the purpose of OpenStudio.
