Output system requests for parallel fan-powered terminal unit with variable-volume fan

Information

This sequence outputs the system reset requests for parallel fan-powered terminal unit with variable-voume fan. The implementation is according to the Section 5.8.8 of ASHRAE Guideline 36, May 2020.

Cooling SAT reset requests `yZonTemResReq`

If the zone temperature TZon exceeds the zone cooling setpoint TCooSet by 3 °C (5 °F)) for 2 minutes and after suppression period (uAftSup=true) due to setpoint change per G36 Part 5.1.20, send 3 requests (yZonTemResReq=3).
Else if the zone temperature TZon exceeds the zone cooling setpoint TCooSet by 2 °C (3 °F) for 2 minutes and after suppression period (uAftSup=true) due to setpoint change per G36 Part 5.1.20, send 2 requests (yZonTemResReq=2).
Else if the cooling loop uCoo is greater than 95%, send 1 request (yZonTemResReq=1) until uCoo is less than 85%.
Else if uCoo is less than 95%, send 0 request (yZonTemResReq=0).

Static pressure reset requests `yZonPreResReq`

If the measured airflow VPri_flow is less than 50% of setpoint VSet_flow while the setpoint is greater than zero and the damper position uDam is greater than 95% for 1 minute, send 3 requests (yZonPreResReq=3).
Else if the measured airflow VPri_flow is less than 70% of setpoint VSet_flow while the setpoint is greater than zero and the damper position uDam is greater than 95% for 1 minute, send 2 requests (yZonPreResReq=2).
Else if the damper position uDam is greater than 95%, send 1 request (yZonPreResReq=1) until uDam is less than 85%.
Else if the damper position uDam is less than 95%, send 0 request (yZonPreResReq=0).

If there is a hot-water coil, hot-water reset requests `yHeaValResReq`

If the discharging air temperature TDis is 17 °C (30 °F) thrTDis_1 less than the setpoint TDisSet for 5 minutes, send 3 requests.
Else ff the discharging air temperature TDis is 8.3 °C (15 °F) thrTDis_1 less than the setpoint TDisSet for 5 minutes, send 2 requests.
Else if the hot water valve position uVal is greater than 95%, send 1 request until the hot water valve position is less than 85%.
Else if the hot water valve position uVal is less than 95%, send 0 request.

If there is a hot-water coil and heating hot-water plant, heating hot-water plant reqeusts. Send the heating hot-water plant that serves the zone a heating hot-water plant request as follows:

If the hot water valve position uVal is greater than 95%, send 1 request until the hot water valve position is less than 10%.
If the hot water valve position uVal is less than 95%, send 0 requests.
