A new section has been added in the Zone window (which appears when a Zone is selected in the tree diagram of the “Building” tab): Air conditioning systems. This section gathers, in a single panel, all the design conditions of air conditioning systems that were previously defined in panel of each terminal unit.
In the new panel, users can specify the design temperature (or temperature difference) of the discharge air of the zone, for both heating and cooling. A scale factor is also defined for each mode (heating or cooling), which will be applied to the design flows and loads of the zone calculated by EnergyPlusTM.
