Model indoor swimmimg pool in OpenStudio

edit

Yes, it's available in the OpenStudio SDK but not the OpenStudio Application as of v3.2 and v1.2, so you'll have to write an OpenStudio Measure to add it to a model. See the following documentation.

• OpenStudio Measure Writer's Reference Guide
• OpenStudio SDK SwimmingPoolIndoor
• EnergyPlus SwimmingPool:indoor

As a workaround until better support is given in the OpenStudioApplication you can do this, assuming:

• Your model is named model.osm
• Your Surface to add the pool to (bottom one) is named My Surface
• The PlantLoop to connect it to is named My Plant Loop

A one liner using the CLI (it's decomposed for clarity at the end of the answer)

openstudio -e "include OpenStudio::Model; vt = OpenStudio::OSVersion::VersionTranslator.new; m = vt.loadModel('model.osm').get; s = m.getSurfaceByName('My Surface').get; pool = SwimmingPoolIndoor.new(m, s); p = m.getPlantLoopByName('My Plant Loop').get; p.addDemandBranchForComponent(pool); m.save('model.osm', true)"

It'll be missing an icon and showing some fields (the Node ones) that you shouldn't edit, but you'll have access to everything by clicking on it on the plant loop:

Decomposition of the one-liner:

# Load
include OpenStudio::Model
vt = OpenStudio::OSVersion::VersionTranslator.new
m = vt.loadModel('model.osm').get

# Get Floor Surface for the pool
s = m.getSurfaceByName('My Surface').get
pool = SwimmingPoolIndoor.new(m, s)

# Connect to a plant loop
p = m.getPlantLoopByName('My Plant Loop').get
p.addDemandBranchForComponent(pool)

# Save
m.save('model.osm', true)
