fake air handling unit system and power meter

[bbartling]

Hi,

This maybe a wild stretch but is it possible to mimic a medium sized office with one AHU and a made up amount of VAV boxes?...where then through BACnet someone could make reads and writes to see how electrical power is affected?

Thanks!

HI Ben,

This bridge will produce any points which are present in an accompanying Alfalfa site. For an underlying OpenStudio model there are a number of automatically generated points. As of right now you could spin up alfalfa, upload a medium office building, and control the schedules to see how the electrical power is affected. It is possible to get finer grain control, but it will require some experience with openstudio and energyplus to get the control you want exposed. Hope that helps
