names of different actions? #7

Open asrjy opened 1 year ago

asrjy commented 1 year ago

Hi @mechyai, I'm trying to replicate some papers that use different target setpoints.

https://github.com/mechyai/RL-EmsPy/blob/01984a9bc37f35991073e17cf715687896d6ea8d/example_usage/simple_emspy_control.py#L96-L107

For example, a paper controls the supply air set point temperature of a VRF system. Where can I find the relevant actuators to do this?

Apologies for the late reply, unfortunately I am far removed from this project. Knowing which actuator parameters to use requires deep understanding of the building model and IDF file you are using - I remember this being a very challenging part of the project, you should be familiar with EnergyPlus and can use OpenStudio to help understand the HVAC system and lookup the actuator names/parameters
