2019-02-09 12:28:56 -0500 marked best answer Fraction radiant information for t12 t8 and LED

I am working on a building model in openstudio and having a horrible time finding any real information for radiant heat for light definitions. Would anyone know of a source to find this information, i have looked at other questions similar but those did not really answer the question? I am looking at T12 in the building and wanting to model retrofit to T8 and LED replacements.

Thank you, Steven

I am using 2.3.0 currently. The geometry was created using sketchup with the openstudio plugin.

2015-08-25 12:49:59 -0500 asked a question Specific year weather data for energy plus

I am trying to find a source for weather data for a specific year that is in energy plus format. I have contacted all the companies listed on the website as source and they all seem to be out of the weather data business. Is anyone aware of a good source to get this information in a format that is ready for Energy Plus?

Thank you

Everything is working now had a typo that was messing it all up, just needed a day away to notice it. Thank you for all your help!

The code is running with no errors now but is not impacting the cooling electrical loads at all. I moved the adding of the plant loop to ahead of the others in an attempt to break it and verify that it is adding the loop but no error was generated.

It seems that openstudio is attempting to check for the Plant Loop Availability manager before the script has a chance to add it. Is there some way to force it to wait till the script is completed before it checks?

It seems I was on the right track was just missing the method for adding to the plant loop. I have implemented this code using an enerygplus measure but when it runs in openstudio I receive an error message. [utilities.idf.WorkspaceObject] <0> Object of type 'AvailabilityManagerAssignmentList' and named 'Plant Loop Availability Manager List', points to an object named Plant Loop Availability Manager from field 2, but that object cannot be located. When I check the error output files the model is failing to run due to the name plant loop availability manager being deleted.

I am very new to writing measures. Would you have any insight in how to get from what you link to above to an openstudio or energy plus measure. The openstudio measures guide is not really that informative for this kind of case.

Currently I have an openstudio measure with user inputs for the chiller system, the node for OA air, and the override schedule. I am stuck as to how to move forward on applying the AvailabilityManager:LowTempratureTurnOff in the measure.
