Pull request overview

Adding Documentation and Transition Change descriptions for the previously merged branch #9117.

Pull Request Author

Add to this list or remove from it as applicable. This is a simple templated set of guidelines.

  • Title of PR should be user-synopsis style (clearly understandable in a standalone changelog context)
  • Label the PR with at least one of: Defect, Refactoring, NewFeature, Performance, and/or DoNoPublish
  • Pull requests that impact EnergyPlus code must also include unit tests to cover enhancement or defect repair
  • Author should provide a "walkthrough" of relevant code changes using a GitHub code review comment process
  • If any diffs are expected, author must demonstrate they are justified using plots and descriptions
  • If changes fix a defect, the fix should be demonstrated in plots and descriptions
  • If any defect files are updated to a more recent version, upload new versions here or on DevSupport
  • If IDD requires transition, transition source, rules, ExpandObjects, and IDFs must be updated, and add IDDChange label
  • If structural output changes, add to output rules file and add OutputChange label
  • If adding/removing any LaTeX docs or figures, update that document's CMakeLists file dependencies

Reviewer

This will not be exhaustively relevant to every PR.

  • Perform a Code Review on GitHub
  • If branch is behind develop, merge develop and build locally to check for side effects of the merge
  • If defect, verify by running develop branch and reproducing defect, then running PR and reproducing fix
  • If feature, test running new feature, try creative ways to break it
  • CI status: all green or justified
  • Check that performance is not impacted (CI Linux results include performance check)
  • Run Unit Test(s) locally
  • Check any new function arguments for performance impacts
  • Verify IDF naming conventions and styles, memos and notes and defaults
  • If new idf included, locally check the err file and other outputs

@xuanluo113 A couple of minor comments and a request to fix some existing formatting issues, please, thanks, just for the window construction section, no need to work through other sections.

The section below here include a description of each "field". Please add descriptions for the 2 new fields.

Also, since you're working in this file already, please update the old names "Material:WindowGlass" etc. to "WindowMaterial:Glazing" etc.

And it would be nice to use \begin{lstlisting} style for the sample eio lines (e.g. Chiller Standard Rating Information).

@mjwitte I added the field descriptions and modified the list to \begin{lstlisting}. Can you please take a look if that's what you mean?

For the old "Material:WindowGlass" parts, I'm not following. Does it mean the Material:WindowGlass section should be deleted as Window Constructions section is a replacement?

Besides, part 2 fields in Window Constructions seem to be duplicated with part 1.

No, part 2 is for the material layers which follow for each WindowConstruction line. All I was asking for here was to substitute 3 instances of "Material:WindowGlass" (which is from long long ago) to "WindowMaterial:Glazing". And likewise for Material:WindowGas, Material:WindowShade, Material:WindowBlind, and Material:WindowScreen.

Hope the latest commit fixed it.

### WindowConstruction EIO Fields Change
Two fields are added to the Description of the Windows Report - "WindowConstruction", namely "Construction Report Conductance (Before Adjusted) {W/m2-K}" and "Convection Coefficient Adjustment Ratio". They represent the glazing-only nominal U (nominal conductance in winter) and the adjustment ratio assuming highly conductive frames are applied along with the glazing.

See PR [#8653](https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/pull/8653).

Also reference #9117 since that's when the actual eio output changes were made.

Done.


\subsubsection{Field: Convection Coefficient Adjustment Ratio}\label{field-convection-coefficient-adjustment-ratio}

For simple glazing (WindowMaterial:SimpleGlazingSystem), this is the adjustment ratio to both inside and outside window film coefficients assuming highly conducting frames are applied to achieve a high Nominal U-Factor. The adjustment ratio is calculated such that the glazing-only conductance evaluated at winter conditions equals the input Nominal U-Factor.

@xuanluo113 I did some more cleanup and updated the text for this field. Please confirm if this is accurate.
