Validation model for equipment runtime sorting logic

Information

This model reproduces the example provided in section 5.1.15.3 of ASHRAE, 2024. In this example, three pumps are lead/lag alternated. Simulating the model shows that the staging order sorRunTim.yIdx matches the one from the guideline.
