Hello, I would need help with an HVAC system. As said in my question, I need help to configure a Controller:WaterCoil. I am using OpenStudio, so I have a visual part for my system. Logically, I have water coils in my system, and I need to control them depending on the air temperature needed.

My question is about the sensor node name : Does it refer to the temperature of the water flowing through my water coil, or does it refer to the temperature of the air to be modulated ? So do I refer to a setpoint in my plant loop or in my air loop ?

The sensor is the coil outlet air node temperature and the actuator is the coil water-side inlet node. The set point manager would be placed at the outlet node of the coil.

Controller:WaterCoil,
  Central Cooling Coil Contoller 1,  !- Name
  Temperature,             !- Control Variable
  Reverse,                 !- Action
  FLOW,                    !- Actuator Variable
  Main Cooling Coil 1 Outlet Node,  !- Sensor Node Name
  Main Cooling Coil 1 Water Inlet Node,  !- Actuator Node Name
  0.002,                   !- Controller Convergence Tolerance {deltaC}
  autosize,                !- Maximum Actuated Flow {m3/s}
  0.0;                     !- Minimum Actuated Flow {m3/s}
