Working with a lot of zones more effectively
As soon as we finally have a table representation for zone settings it would be great to have an ability to work with it as a table. I mean to sort, select many rows at one time, assign values to all selected zones, search, etc. Huge models such as healthcare are really need it. The same with groups of zones. E+ has an ability to assign an HVAC system to a predefined list of zones, not only adding them one-by-one. Why don't we have the same here?
is this for OpenStudio?
@Dinosaver: @Benjamin is right, you should tag this post and perhaps refine the context of the message to reflect the tool(s) you are talking about. I just re-tagged the post by hyphenating some of the keywords for clarity as well. Thanks!
@Dinosaver Just to clarify, EnergyPlus supports zone lists for internal gains (People, Lights, etc.), infiltration, zone ventilation, and a few select HVAC-related objects (ZoneControl:Thermostat*, Sizing:Zone, and Controller:MechanicalVentilation). It does not support zone lists for assigning HVAC equipment.
