- Energyplus branch and node management: i read the E+ documentation about branch and node but i did not get fully imaging how a modeler should setup air and plant loop. Which part is used for determine boundary between supply and demand side in a loop (air/water) ? Have any good step-by-step procedure for implementing a HVAC system schematic into E+. Lastest version of energy plus have a lot groups for zoneHVAC equipment make me more confused especially node management.
- As you described, HVACtemplate is very useful tool but when a GUI like OS does it, most of time they go directly into detail equipment. Have any material (spreadsheet, document) as guideline (best with step-by-step_ for checking whether all input of HVAC system (Unitary, VAV, DOAS,,,,) and theirs E+ component (coil, coil control, controller, setpoint manager, etc,..) are implemented in a right way into E+ ? Normally we should start do input from top level (plant, system) to zone or from zone to system ? I hope i can get some comments/advices Thanks
