- [source code]

Deconstruct a ServiceHotWater object into its constituient properties.

Inputs

• hot_water [Required]

  A ServiceHotWater object to be deconstructed.

Outputs

• name

  An Equipment object that can be used to create a ProgramType or be assigned directly to a Room.

• flow_per_area

  A numerical value for the total volume flow rate of water per unit area of floor (L/h-m2).

• schedule

  A fractional schedule for the use of hot water over the course of the year. The fractional values will get multiplied by the _flow_per_area to yield a complete water usage profile.

• target_temp

  The target temperature of the water out of the tap in Celsius. This the temperature after the hot water has been mixed with cold water from the water mains.

• sensible_fract

  A number between 0 and 1 for the fraction of the total hot water load given off as sensible heat in the zone.

• latent_fract

  A number between 0 and 1 for the fraction of the total hot water load that is latent (as opposed to sensible).
