2021-06-08 13:08:43 -0500 marked best answer Converting Schedule:Ruleset to Schedule:File with DesignDays schedules

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to convert thermostat schedules written using Schedule:Ruleset to using Schedule:File, so, I can have my own temperature setpoint profiles across the 8760 hours. Before I made any adjustment on the setpoint values, I took a test to compare the model performance using either method and with the same setpoint profiles. My workflow was by running a single run on Schedule:Ruleset to produce the hourly temperature setpoint values and modify the model to use Schedule:File by reading a .csv files containing the setpoint values.

The model-run using Schedule:File changes the components' sizing. It looks it is because the model does not include the design day schedules that were originally part of the Schedule:Ruleset. Is there any way to go around it? Alternatively, I can use Schedule:Compact with the designdays schedules and the hourly setpoint profiles.

Thanks,

[updated with an image]

I am trying to add a setpoint manager on the outlet node of a ChillerElectricEIR object in the supply side of a chilled water loop. I have followed the instruction as shown in here. However, it still gives me an error undefined method 'outletModelObject' for #.

I have also tried to rename the outlet node for the chiller using setChilledWaterOutletNodeName(<string>), yet the chiller's name is still in hex code when I call it with chilledWaterOutletNodeName Can anyone please help?

I am trying to create a measure for the following system image description

Thanks. That would be a nice feature for Schedule:File object to having. I will give the issue a thumbs up.
