Revision history [back]

I have been trying to bring in hourly changes in simulation conditions that take values from a .csv file and convert them to the values take by the EMS sensor. This I am trying to implement on 2 aspects: 1. The construction (in order to change the aspects of SHGC and Visible Transmittance values of a Simple Glazing unit), for which I'm creating 7 states which are defined in the code and trying to choose the appropriate construction based on the corresponding value in .csv file. 2. The LPD of artificial lighting by choosing the appropriate value for the hour from the .csv file.

The end-result that I'm trying to acheve is similar to the question asked in https://unmethours.com/question/47169/how-to-add-variable-envelope-properties-in-energyplus-through-ems/ , but I faced difficulty in implementing it which is why I have posted as a separate question. Kindly help me out. The input .csv files that I want to use are attached here

I'm attaching the code that I had tried, but it doesn't seem to be working. Since I'm a beginner in Measure Writing, I have tried to combine snippets from the following codes:

1. M13Example13SurfaceConstructionActuatorForThermochromaticWindow: https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio-EMS-Measures/blob/master/Measures/m_13_example_13_surface_construction_actuator_for_thermochromatic_window/measure.rb
2. Set Lighting Loads by LPD: https://bcl.nrel.gov/node/84704
3. Replace Exterior Window Constructions with a Different Construction from the Model: https://bcl.nrel.gov/node/84690
4. Add Interval Schedule From File: https://bcl.nrel.gov/node/84422

My Code:

# load dependencies
require 'csv'

# start the measure
class DynamicWindowGlazing < OpenStudio::Measure::ModelMeasure

  # display name
  def name
    return "Dynamic Window Glazing"
  end

  def description
    return "This measure adds an EMS object and a schedule object from a file of interval data"
  end

  # modeler description

    return "This measure simulates a dynamic glazing by adding an EnergyPlus object, Energy Management System and a ScheduleInterval object from a user-specified .csv file. The measure supports hourly and 15 min interval data for leap and non-leap years.  The .csv file must contain only schedule values in the first column with 8760, 8784, 35040, or 35136 rows specified.

I have been trying to bring in hourly changes in simulation conditions that take values from a .csv file and convert them to the values take by the EMS sensor. This I am trying to implement on 2 aspects: 1. The construction (in order to change the aspects of SHGC and Visible Transmittance values of a Simple Glazing unit), for which I'm creating 7 states which are defined in the code and trying to choose the appropriate construction based on the corresponding value in .csv file. 2. The LPD of artificial lighting by choosing the appropriate value for the hour from the .csv file.

The end-result that I'm trying to acheve is similar to the question asked in https://unmethours.com/question/47169/how-to-add-variable-envelope-properties-in-energyplus-through-ems/ , but I faced difficulty in implementing it which is why I have posted as a separate question. Kindly help me out. The input .csv files that I want to use are attached here

I'm attaching the code that I had tried, but it doesn't seem to be working. Since I'm a beginner in Measure Writing, I have tried to combine snippets from the following codes:

1. M13Example13SurfaceConstructionActuatorForThermochromaticWindow: https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio-EMS-Measures/blob/master/Measures/m_13_example_13_surface_construction_actuator_for_thermochromatic_window/measure.rb
2. Set Lighting Loads by LPD: https://bcl.nrel.gov/node/84704
3. Replace Exterior Window Constructions with a Different Construction from the Model: https://bcl.nrel.gov/node/84690
4. Add Interval Schedule From File: https://bcl.nrel.gov/node/84422

My Code:

I have been trying to bring in hourly changes in simulation conditions that take values from a .csv file and convert them to the values take by the EMS sensor. This I am trying to implement on 2 aspects: 1. The construction (in order to change the aspects of SHGC and Visible Transmittance values of a Simple Glazing unit), for which I'm creating 7 states which are defined in the code and trying to choose the appropriate construction based on the corresponding value in .csv file. 2. The LPD of artificial lighting by choosing the appropriate value for the hour from the .csv file.

The end-result that I'm trying to acheve is similar to the question asked in https://unmethours.com/question/47169/how-to-add-variable-envelope-properties-in-energyplus-through-ems/ , but I faced difficulty in implementing it which is why I have posted as a separate question. Kindly help me out. The input .csv files that I want to use are attached here

I'm attaching the code that I had tried, but it doesn't seem to be working. Since I'm a beginner in Measure Writing, I have tried to combine snippets from the following codes:

1. M13Example13SurfaceConstructionActuatorForThermochromaticWindow: https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio-EMS-Measures/blob/master/Measures/m_13_example_13_surface_construction_actuator_for_thermochromatic_window/measure.rb
2. Set Lighting Loads by LPD: https://bcl.nrel.gov/node/84704
3. Replace Exterior Window Constructions with a Different Construction from the Model: https://bcl.nrel.gov/node/84690
4. Add Interval Schedule From File: https://bcl.nrel.gov/node/84422
