# Read HVAC Sizing

![](/files/-MihpgCu6hb1fTgKuqEp) - [\[source code\]](https://github.com/ladybug-tools/honeybee-grasshopper-energy/blob/master/honeybee_grasshopper_energy/src//HB%20Read%20HVAC%20Sizing.py)

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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ladybug.tools/hb-energy-primer/components/6_result/read_hvac_sizing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
