Complicated Input of HVACTemplate:Zone when using Zone Multiplier

edit

This is a documentation issue.

When we use HVACTemplate:Zone:xxx such as HVACTemplate:Zone:FanCoil, HVACTemplate:Zone:VRF, HVACTemplate:Zone:VAV, etc., with Zone Multiplier, how to input each parameter is quite complicated.

• Cooling/Heating Capacity: Not multiplied because the input value is written to ZoneHVAC:xxx in the expidf file
• Cooling/Heating Supply Air Flow Rate: Multiplied because the input value is written to Sizing:Zone in the expidf file
• No Load Supply Air Flow Rate: Not multiplied because the input value is written to ZoneHVAC:xxx in the expidf file
• Supply Air Maximum Flow Rate: Multiplied because the input value is written to Sizing:Zone in the expidf file
• Fixed Minimum Air low Rate: Not multiplied because the input value is written to AirTerminal:xxx in the expidf file
• Outdoor Air Flow Rate per Zone: Multiplied because it is written to Sizing:Zone in the expidf file

Whether each parameter is multiplied or not depends on where it is writtten in the expidf file, but newbies do not know that. In particular, with regard to Cooling/Heating Capacity and Fixed Minimum Air low Rate, whether they are multiplied or not is not described in I/O Reference (e.g. 1 and 2). It should be described in I/O Reference.
