Read HVAC Sizing
Parse the peak load and HVAC component sizes from an SQL result file that has been generated from an energy simulation.
Inputs
sql [Required]
The file path of the SQL result file that has been generated from an energy simulation.
comp_type
An optional name of a HVAC component type, which will filter the HVAC components that appear in the output comp_props and comp_values. Connecting nothing here will mean that all HVAC component sizes are imported and a full list of possible components will appear in the comp_types output.
Outputs
zone_names
A list of zone names (honeybee Room identifiers) that correspond to the zone_peak_load and zone_peak_heat below.
zone_peak_cool
A list of numbers for the peak cooling load of each zone on the summer design day. These correspond to the zone_names above. All values are in Watts.
zone_peak_heat
A list of numbers for the peak heating load of each zone on the winter design day. These correspond to the zone_names above. All values are in Watts.
comp_types
A list of HVAC component types that are available in the results. This will be equal to the input comp_type_ if a value is connected.
comp_properties
A list of text descriptions for HVAC component properties. These correspond to the comp_values below.
comp_values
Values denoting the size of various zone HVAC components (eg. zone terminal sizes, boiler/chiller sizes, lengths of chilled beams, etc.). These correspond to the comp_properties above. Values may be in different units (eg. W, m/s, etc.) depending on the property of the component being observed.
