Sync Proposed Setpoint Data to Reference NECB 2017
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).
The VE 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 reference building is upstream of creating the HVAC files, this creates a scenario where changes could be made to the proposed space setpoints after the reference building was generated. The end result would be different setpoints for the same space in the reference & 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 reference space data as well as the proposed. This means that setpoint data in the proposed and reference will be aligned.
