Does your setup necessarily include a heat exchanger? Why not use the CHW coils in the loop with chiller directly?

You can drag the chiller to the demand side of the how water loop containing the boiler.

2023-03-21 08:01:16 -0500 marked best answer Updating OS/PAT with maintenence tool

Hey, I was wondering if there's a way to update an existing installation of OpenStudio/Parametric Analysis Tool using the 'maintenancetool' file in their installation directories. Is this the purpose of this file?

I did come across this question but I wonder if this is still the case as it was 7 years ago.

2022-08-31 15:44:14 -0500 marked best answer Building Sync Gem Error

Greetings, I successfully installed the gem and I'm trying to run the example files.

Here's how things look in my Terminal.

user@mac ~ % cd /Users/user/Downloads/BuildingSync-gem-examples-develop
user@mac BuildingSync-gem-examples-develop % bundle exec ruby run_L000.rb
Traceback (most recent call last):

Is this an issue in my usage? Is it something wrong with the gem? This error also appeared when I tried my own files. It seems it's not getting past the 'require' line. Any information will help, thanks!
