Is it always included in the (air cooled) compressor energy?

There is cooling energy, but I would expect to see some condenser fan energy under heat rejection. I did not see any way to connect condenser fans, so I assume that the assumption was the condenser fan energy is always rolled up with the compressor.

Openstudio 2.3.0

Does such a measure exist already?(I'm not a Ruby or E+ Guru) Any reason Chiller:Electric:ReformulatedEIR is not supported?

I have manufacturer's ReformulatedEIR curves. How can I get Chiller:Electric:ReformulatedEIR in my openstudio plant loop?

Does loss of column alignment indicate a problem in my model, or is this a known glitch? I didn't find anything or didn't know what to search. Please see image: image description

Here is a link to the model. https://www.transferbigfiles.com/cb47... I did not see errors when applying the measure.

I am trying to use the measure "Replace Exterior Window Construction with a Different Construction from the Model" to do just what it says.

I have one construction that I want to swap out for a PAT analysis.

Measure runs, identifies the existing construction, and reports replacing 0 ft^2...


I found the problem. It is ignoring inherited constructions. It only replaces constructions entered at the space level.

I am surprised to find out NREL has not written such a measure. It would be very useful for initial PAT analysis when evaluating systems.
