6.1.36.1 Methods Defined Here
get_air_exchanges() -> list
Get the room's air exchanges.
Returns:
List of RoomAirExchange objects.
get_apache_systems() -> dictionary
Gets the system data.
Returns:
Dictionary with the following information, including whether values are from template:
- Systems: HVAC system ID; methodology and whether the space is conditioned; auxiliary ventilation system ID and whether it matches the HVAC system; DHW system ID and whether is matches the HVAC system
- Heating: size (kW), radiant fraction, supply air temperature and whether the heating capacity is unlimited. If the capacity is not unlimited then the capacity and its units are included.
- Cooling: size (kW), radiant fraction, supply air temperature and whether the cooling capacity is unlimited. If the capacity is not unlimited then the capacity and its units are included.
- Outside air supply: flow rate and units, free cooling flow capacity and units, and variation profile ID.
- Ventilation & extract: whether room has local mechanical exhaust. If it does then also included are: the extract flow rate and units, SFP (W/l/s) and whether the extract fan is remote from the room.
Additional data is provided for HVAC and NCM modes.
