add EntityProperties for VAV Terminal_Units #413

Open MatthewSteen opened 2 years ago

MatthewSteen commented 2 years ago

Add EntityProperties for VAVs to support fixed, non-telemetry, metadata. These should essentially capture the data on mechanical schedules and/or product cut sheets. AHRI 881 Performance Rating of Air Terminals might be a good starting point for standardized properties.

Thanks for the suggestion! I can begin adding these for the 1.3.1 release

@MatthewSteen is there an XML schema or other digital representation of the AHRI metadata? It may be easier for us to just point to a standard machine-readable document, rather than having to import the whole standard into Brick. What would be the most useful cutsheet properties for us to incorporate?

Not that I'm aware of. A possible source of machine-readable properties would be the OpenStudio API or EnergyPlus IDD. However, they're not standardized. @ThibaultMarzullo's work with EnergyPlus mapping to Brick might be useful.
