2021-03-02 12:51:11 -0500 marked best answer E+ VRF model heat recovery mode curves

The E+ model for 'airconditioner:variablerefrigerantflow' does not have defaults for the following curves:

, !- Heat Recovery Cooling Capacity Modifier Curve Name , !- Heat Recovery Cooling Energy Modifier Curve Name , !- Heat Recovery Heating Capacity Modifier Curve Name , !- Heat Recovery Heating Energy Modifier Curve Name

Can someone recommend sources/references for these?

2020-07-30 15:39:06 -0500 marked best answer Default minimum outdoor temperature for DX coils

The current minimum outdoor temperature for compressor operation for EnergyPlus objects 'Coil:Heating:DX:VariableSpeed' and 'AirConditioner:VariableRefrigerantFlow' is -20 DegC. The current cold-climate heat pump technology can operate easily down to -25 DegC. Ideally if this temperature can be allowed to drop to -30 DegC.

What is the best way to request this kind of change in EnergyPlus? This is really not a feature request. It's more of minor code change. Is there a web link someone can share for entering this request for change in e+?
