Compute the AHU operating mode from the group operating mode

Information

This sequence specifies the operation mode of a AHU system, which may serve multiple zone group. It is implemented according to Section 5.15.1 of ASHRAE Guideline G36, May 2020.

When zone group served by an air-handling system are in different modes, the following hierarchy applies (highest one sets AHU mode):

  1. Occupied mode
  2. Cooldown mode
  3. Setup mode
  4. Warm-up mode
  5. Setback mode
  6. Freeze protection setback mode
  7. Unoccupied mode

See the operation mode enumeration in Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36.Types.OperationModes for the detailed description.
