Sync Proposed Setpoint Data to Baseline 90.1 2007

 
VE2018 provides a new approach to system schedules and setpoints, which offers improved functionality for the user.
 
Space Setpoints have been set at room level previously using the ‘Space Setpoints’ action item and these are synced to ApacheHVAC when these rooms are assigned to HVAC systems (indicated by a magenta colour). However, part of the VE2018 updates also allows users to edit setpoints in the ApacheHVAC interface and then push those changes back to Space Data via the tickbox outlined in red below.
 
 
This tickbox is active by default and will, by default, push changes to space data in the proposed model. As the step to generate the baseline building is upstream of creating the HVAC files, this creates a scenario where changes could be made to the proposed space setpoints after the baseline building was generated.  The end result would be different setpoints for the same space in the baseline & proposed buildings which is not compliant with the rules.
This action presents a dialog, which allows the user to choose to push setpoint changes made in the proposed ApacheHVAC file to the baseline space data as well as the proposed. This means that setpoint data in the proposed and baseline will be aligned.
