2018-03-13 14:48:35 -0500 marked best answer Geothermal CLI Issue

Alright, so still learning the CLI and have been successful at making my life easier on our larger models by using it to overwrite large amounts of repetitive inputs. I have, however, ran into a snag. I am modifying the AEDG GSHP measure for my purposes. Basically I want to set the outdoor air on the ZoneWatertoAirHeatPumps to 0 and then build the loop and connect the heat pumps to the condenser loop. The following script works at two out of the three tasks mentioned but I cannot get the heat pumps connected to the condenser loop. I was trying to loop through the CoilHeatingWaterToAirHeatPumpEquationFit and assign them to the condenser loop but I keep getting an error. Same with the Cooling Coil.

Here is the script for where I am trying to make a connection:

model.getCoilHeatingWaterToAirHeatPumpEquationFit.each do |heating_coil|
  condenser_loop.addDemandBranchForComponent(heating_coil)
end

When I run it form the CLI I get and Exception: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1).

2018-02-27 12:56:52 -0500 marked best answer Availability Schedule Measure

I have project with 153 zones. In most zones I am using a Water to Air Heatpump. I need to change the availability schedule of each heat pump. I am fairly redundant task tolerant but in OS this gets a little long for even me. I am not a coder but I cannot dissect and modify code where necessary. Anyone know of an existing measure I could modify for this purpose?

2018-02-27 12:21:24 -0500 commented question Availability Schedule Measure

The vast majority are the same zone with probably 30 exceptions.

2017-12-06 10:24:41 -0500 marked best answer Air Loop Water to Air DX Coil?

We typically use DOAS units on our goethermal projects that have water to air coils (typically cooling and HGRH). I noticed all of the DOAS with GSHP measures model the DOAS units with chilled water coils and a chiller. I am relatively new to Energy Plus and Open Studio but it appears that you cannot directly model a water to air DX coil in an air loop at least not one that I can find.

Am I correct in this assumption? Is modeling it with a chilled and hot water coils the only way to go?

Eric, thank you for this. I have done several projects where I modeled the geothermal with zone water to air heat pumps
