Hi everyone,
I am attempting to continue Chien Si Harriman's excellent work with the Honeybee Open Studio HVAC components. However I am having quite a number of issues understanding the Open Studio SDK and as a result I've hit a roadblock. If you could answer/explain the questions below, it would help me with my understanding of the SDK and be greatly appreciated.
A. Why does adding either a SystemType1 or a SystemType2 return void while adding any other SystemType return a Loop class object.
B. How is it possible to get the Airloop of a SystemType1 or SystemType2 HVAC system? I can get the get the Airloop of SystemTypes 3-6 using the following code.
handle = OpenStudio.OpenStudioModelHVAC.addSystemType3(model).handle()
airloop = model.getAirLoopHVAC(handle).get()
However clearly this doesn't work with SystemType1 or 2 because the add SystemType1 methods return void.
C. I cannot find the method .getAirLoopHVAC anywhere in the OS SDK as well as the property handle() and get(). Could you provide a hyper link to these properties and methods?
D. With SystemType2 I can get the package terminal heat pumps using the code.
model.getZoneHVACPackagedTerminalHeatPumps().
How can I get the HVAC systems in the same way for SystemTypes 3-6? getZoneHVAC yields no results in the OS SDK.
E. I need to set the cooling and heating Airflow rates for SystemTypes 3-6 is this possible? Since I can't get the HVAC systems at this stage (question 4.) I don't know how to change their properties.
Thank you for your help!
