Revision history [back]

@andresgallardo thanks for the file. I filed an OpenStudio issue for this, and I'll update it on BCL when I get a chance but you can update your local copy pretty easily for now.

The "os_lib_hvac.rb" file has a method to remove existing plant loops that aren't used for SWH. starts a loop with this line.

plantLoops.each do |plantloop|

Then a few lines below on line 230 I refer to "platLoop" with uppercase "L" instead of "plantloop". The same error is made on line 238. If you fix line 230 and 238 the measure runs.

One note related to the optional argument for return air plenum zones. Select the space type used in the prototype model as the plenum which is named "Plenum Space Type". The measure will loop through spaces assigned to this space type, and will identify conditioned zones below them. It will then assign the select space as a return air plenum for the lower zone.
