Gain

title: gain --- input. .ownTI (base class) is zone subscript.

Name Type Variability Description/Comments
gnPower number Start of hour
  • amount of gain (demand -- b4 reduction by [gnDlFrPow][gndlfrpow]), Btuh, hourly expression
  • if linked to [DHWSYS][dhwsys], units are Btuh/gal
mtri TI input time meter to which gain is charged
gnEndUse choice:ENDUSE Start of phase end use of energy: cooling, heating, receptacles, etc. reqd if gnMeter != none, else disallowed.
gnFrLat number Start of hour fraction of gain which is latent (0 - 1, hourly expression)
gnFrRad number Start of hour
  • fraction of gain which is radiant, added 11-95
  • next 3 must sum to <= 1
gnFrZn number Start of hour fraction of gain going to zone (0 - 1, hourly expression)
gnFrPl number Start of hour fraction of gain going to plenum (0 - 1, hourly expression)
gnFrRtn number Start of hour fraction of gain going to return (0 - 1, hourly expression)
gnDlFrPow number Start of hour fraction power on for daylighting, 0-1, default 1.0, hourly expression
dhwsysi TI input time
  • controlling [DHWSYS][dhwsys], 0 if none ()
  • allows gains that track water use (re e.g. dishwashers, clotheswashers,)
dhwmtri TI input time
  • controlling [DHWMETER][dhwmeter], 0 if none
  • allows gains that track water use (re e.g. dishwashers, clotheswashers,)
dhwEndUse choice:DHWEUX input time
  • with gn_dhwsysi, specifies controlling HW end use
  • note includes _TOTAL and _UNKNOWN
