Why is ElectricEquipment:ITE:AirCooled still "Watts per Zone Floor Area" in OS idd?
OS:ElectricEquipment:ITE:AirCooled:Definition,
N2 , \field Watts per Zone Floor Area
All of the other SpaceLoadDefinition
objects (Lights:Definition
, ElectricEquipment:Definition
, etc) have
N2, \field Watts per Space Floor Area
No-one really noticed and bothered to change it probably. It's been like this for ever (6 years, when the object was wrapped: https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio/blame/develop/src/model/ElectricEquipmentITEAirCooledDefinition.hpp#L68 , and that was before the Space was a thing in E+)
(Also, this object is weird in the sense that it's a SpaceLoadInstance, but it's an HVAC component, which is more a zonal thing than a space one to me)
Enhancement Request
Once v24.1-IOFreeze is released, we should update to it.
