What SDD Object:Property(s) are relevant to this issue?
CoilCooling:DxEnergyInputRatio
Explanation of addition, revision, or clarification:
The SDD and NACM currently describe DX coil efficiency using EIR (1/COP),
however, OS/E+ uses COP to define DX coil efficiency.
Proposed resolution:
For clarity on translation, might consider adding the SDD term
CoilCooling:DXCOP to be inline with OS/E+ inputs. This is a debatable addition,
as having two properties over-defines the coil efficiency. If only DXCOP was
used in SDD, NACM should probably be revised to be consistent.

What NACM Section(s) are relevant to this issue?
5.7.2.1, Night Cycle HVAC Fan Control
Explanation of issue:
Input restriction is "As Designed", and baseline rule is to "Stay Off"
Proposed resolution:
Suggest revise rules for both baseline and proposed to be "Cycle On Any".
If it was required for both the proposed and baseline (as it is for 90.1 App
G), this would help ensure, at minimum, that the maximum/minimum unoccupied
temperatures do not exceed the setback temp (+/- throttling range) for both the
proposed and baseline cases. If not required for both proposed & baseline, I
see this as an opportunity to game the system since flipping night-cycling
on/off is easy to do and people likely will specify what provides more
compliance margin, not necessarily how the building is actually going to be
controlled (I doubt that the code reviewers will dig through the seq of ops to
figure this out, if a seq of ops even exists).
Also, please suggest clarifying that ventilation dampers should be closed
during night cycling. This is separate from night purge, which is a control
scheme that is address separately in the NACM.

Explanation of issue:
It appears OS/IDF supports NACM method #2 (TSP, fan efficiency, and motor
efficiency) to determine fan power.
The current NACM indicates that the power per unit flow method shall be used
when no proposed fan performance data is provided, and the brake horsepower
method for the baseline design.
Proposed resolution:
Suggest revising the NACM to define a default fan efficiency (for all supply,
return, etc) so that properties for the static pressure method can be
calculated by rules and used in OS/E+ models.

Tower Design Return Water Temperature the baseline rule is "Set to 95°F for a

All objects who's geometry is defined by polyloops

Explanation of addition, revision, or clarification:
To avoid unnecessary function calls and simplify rule writing/readability,
suggest adding new properties to ExtWall, Window and other objects who's
geometry is defined by polyloops. Initially, the properties 'Area', 'Tilt',
and 'Azimuth' are suggested for Exterior Walls, and Windows, but this list may
be expanded based on others' reactions to this suggestion.
Proposed resolution:
See above.
Alternatively, if the group feels this would add to much size/complexity to the

the ruleset.

5.7.5.1 - Coil Bypass Factor
Explanation of issue:
NACM describes the sensible/latent performance of cooling coils using bypass
factor and related curves, which is indicative of the DOE-2 coil model. The IDF
cooling coil model uses the rated coil capacity and rated SHR to calculate the
rated BF. It then uses the NTU heat exchanger model to determine the coil BF
at non-rated air flow rates. Given that coil modeling methods of the NACM and
E+ differ, it is not clear how the current NACM properties are going to be
translated.
Proposed resolution:
Suggest revising NACM/SDD to describe properties for both methods, or have E+
development team provide an outline for how DOE-2 coil model properties will be
translated to the E+ coil model, and add to NACM as a reference document.
Please provide any additional information below.

2.2.11 - Plenums
Explanation of issue:
In a meeting to review the baseline HVAC system map a few months ago, we
discussed the complication that the proposed and baseline thermal zones may be
served by different HVAC systems. Therefore, if the modeler has consolidated
plenum zones to correspond to the proposed design, it may not be possible to
properly allocate the plenum zones to the appropriate baseline HVAC system.
Proposed resolution:
Revise NACM to specify:
"If plenums are modeled in the proposed design, they should also be modeled in
the baseline building, and a unique plenum thermal block is created for each
thermal block that defines the conditioned space. That is, a 1:1 relationship
between the plenum and the corresponding non-plenum thermal blocks is modeled
for all systems with plenums."

5.7.5
Explanation of issue:
The part-load efficiency curves for DOE-2 (EIR-FPLR) are different curves than
the part load factor correlation used by E+ (PLF). They are related by:
EIR-FPLR = PLR / PLF. When I convert the DOE-2 curves to the PLF format they
don't match what I see in E+.
Proposed resolution:
Use DOE-2 part-load curves and convert to E+ PLF format, and supply both curves
in the ACM. If there is justification for using the E+ curve we can adjust the
DOE-2 defaults, but I'm not aware of any special reason for using them over the
DOE-2 curves. Moreover, DOE-2 provides different defaults by equipment system
type.
Please provide any additional information below.

What NACM Section(s) are relevant to this issue?
5.8.3 Cooling Towers
Explanation of issue:
For condenser water reset, the two options are fixed or a wet-bulb reset.
However, from COMNET there is a Reset Ratio term which provides a dial for a
reset that is somewhere between a fixed approach to wet-bulb and a fixed CWS
temperature. The default for the Reset Ratio is 0.29. I don't know where this
control strategy comes from and I don't know if the simulation tools can
readily model it.
Proposed resolution:
Remove Reset Ratio and have either a wet-bulb based reset with fixed approach
or a fixed condenser water supply temp (the baseline is fixed at 70F).
Please provide any additional information below.
