modelVAVBoxCoolingOnly
VAV terminal unit cooling only
Extends from Buildings.Templates.ZoneEquipment.Interfaces.VAVBox (Interface class for VAV terminal unit).
Information
Description
This template represents a cooling-only VAV terminal unit (or shut off box).
The possible configuration options are enumerated in the table below.
The user may refer to ASHRAE (2021) for further details.
The first option displayed in bold characters corresponds to the default configuration.
| Configuration parameter | Options | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| VAV damper |
Modulating damper |
|
| Controller | ASHRAE Guideline 36 controller | An open loop controller is also available for validation purposes only. |
