Can you add "design return airflow fraction" to the OpenStudioSDK? #4039
Comments
here's the link to the E+ I/O ref for this field on AirLoopHVAC: https://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/docs/9-3/input-output-reference/group-air-distribution.html#design-return-air-flow-fraction-of-supply-air-flow Seems like this field was added in E+ 8.8. E+ IDD
It's a numeric field, so easy to add getter, setter, and FT. Make that required-field instead, and set it to 1.0 in the Ctor. This would requires adding this to our IDD:
Needs VT as a result, so probably best to insert it next to the N1 Design Supply Air Flow Rate field to match E+. |
Retitled the issue since this repo only deals with SDK. moved the App portion to openstudiocoalition/OpenStudioApplication#210 |
Fix #4039 - Add field 'Design Return Air Flow Fraction of Supply Air Flow' to AirLoopHVAC
Enhancement Request
Energy Plus has this feature but OpenStudio does not.
It is important because often supply fans are not the same size as supply fans due to separate building exhaust fans and Ashrae requirements for bathrooms.
Detailed Description

This video shows how to do it through code which is way too much work for a simple setting. If several settings have to be done this way, nobody will use OpenStudio because of time constraints with a normal job.
