SWHV041-05 Software-controlled switch reluctance motor measure

Energy modeling: Debrudra Mitra @Debrudra20 Postprocessing: Debrudra Mitra @Debrudra20

Measure summary:

This measure is for retrofitting existing constant volume packaged units with switched reluctance motors with multi-speed controls.

The root files were changed to add parameters for high, low, and ventilation speed fan power and flow fraction. The HVAC templates were modified for parameterization of the multispeed fan power. Parameterization allowed heating and cooling coil objects to be changed to match the number of speeds required by the measure. This includes adding the Coil:Heating:Gas:MultiStage object and a three-speed option for the Fan:SystemModel.
