    Data Fields Details

    Here is a detailed explanation of what each data field requires.

    name

    Name of the Air Loop HVAC DOAS object in the model.

    Pressure-drop adjustments

    The following fields can be used to indicate what pressure-drop adjustment devices are present in each airloop HVAC DOAS object in the proposed model. Each field corresponds to one of the pressure-drop adjustment categories from Table 6.5.3.1-2.

    • has_fan_power_credit_fully_ducted

      Set this field to the number of return or exhaust systems required by code or accreditation standards to be fully ducted, or systems required to maintain air pressure differentials between adjacent rooms that the airloop HVAC DOAS object includes. If the number is 1, the field can also be set to yes. If it doesn’t apply, leave this field blank or set to 0.

    • has_fan_power_credit_return_or_exhaust_flow_control

      Set this field to the number of return and/or exhaust airflow control devices that the airloop HVAC DOAS object includes. If the number is 1, the field can also be set to yes. If it doesn’t apply, leave this field blank or set to 0.

    • fan_power_credit_exhaust_treatment

      Set this field to the sum of the pressure-drop (calculated at fan system design conditions) of all exhaust filters, scrubbers, or other exhaust treatment devices that the airloop HVAC DOAS object includes. If it doesn’t apply, leave this field blank or set to 0.

    • has_fan_power_credit_filtration_m9to12

      Set this field to the number of MERV 9 through 12 filters that the airloop HVAC DOAS object includes. If the number is 1, the field can also be set to yes. If it doesn’t apply, leave this field blank or set to 0.

    • has_fan_power_credit_filtration_m13to15

      Set this field to the number of MERV 13 through 15 filters that the airloop HVAC DOAS object includes. If the number is 1, the field can also be set to yes. If it doesn’t apply, leave this field blank or set to 0.

    • clean_filter_pressure_drop_for_fan_power_credit_filtration_m16plus

      Set this field to the sum of the pressure-drop (calculated at 2 times the clean filter pressure-drop at fan system design conditions) of all MERV 16+ filters and electronically enhanced filters that the airloop HVAC DOAS object includes. If it doesn’t apply, leave this field blank or set to 0.

    • fan_power_credit_gas_phase_cleaners

      Set this field to the sum of carbon and other gas-phase air cleaners’ pressure-drop (at the fan system design conditions) that the airloop HVAC DOAS object includes. If it doesn’t apply, leave this field blank or set to 0.

    • fan_power_credit_biosafety

      Set this field to the sum of the pressure-drop (calculated at fan system design conditions) of biosafety cabinets that the airloop HVAC DOAS object includes. If it doesn’t apply, leave this field blank or set to 0.

    • fan_power_credit_other_than_coil_runaround

      Set this field to the number of energy recovery devices other than coil runaround loop that the airloop HVAC DOAS object includes. If it doesn’t apply, leave this field blank or set to 0.

    • has_fan_power_credit_coil_runaround

      Set this field to the number of runaround loop that the airloop HVAC DOAS object includes. If the number is 1, the field can also be set to yes. If it doesn’t apply, leave this field blank or set to 0.

    • fan_power_credit_evaporative_humidifier_or_cooler

      Set this field to the sum of the pressure-drop (calculated at fan system design conditions) of the evaporative humidifier or cooler that the airloop HVAC DOAS object includes. If it doesn’t apply, leave this field blank or set to 0.

    • has_fan_power_credit_sound_attenuation

      Set this field to the number of sound attenuation sections of fans serving spaces with design background noise goals below NC35 that the airloop HVAC DOAS object includes. If the number is 1, the field can also be set to yes. If it doesn’t apply, leave this field blank or set to 0.

    • has_fan_power_credit_exhaust_serving_fume_hoods

      Set this field to the number of exhaust systems serving fume hoods that the airloop HVAC DOAS object includes. If the number is 1, the field can also be set to yes. If it doesn’t apply, leave this field blank or set to 0.
