The paper outlines a process that enables design engineers to create HVAC system representations using industry standard terminology and system, icon and typological representations and convert that unified representation into the format required by the whole building energy simulation tool EnergyPlus. This paper describes each stage of the conversion process, which involves transformations between the following representations: 1) engineer&#039;s representation, 2) component connectivity representation, 3) representation in the internal data model used in the Simergy graphical user interface for EnergyPlus, and 4) EnergyPlus representation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The paper also describes mappings between these representations and the development of a rule-based validation and assignment framework required to implement that mapping. In addition, the paper describes the implementation of this process in Simergy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBNL-5565E</style></custom2></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Richard See</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Philip Haves</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pramod Sreekanathan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mangesh Basarkar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">James O&#039;Donnell</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kevin Settlemyre</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Development of a user interface for the EnergyPlus whole building energy simulation program</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IBPSA Building Simulation 2011</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11/2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sydney, Australia</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mangesh Basarkar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Philip Haves</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Xiufeng Pang</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liping Wang</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tianzhen Hong</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Modeling and simulation of HVAC faults in EnergyPlus</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Building Simulation 2011</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">advanced building software: energyplus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">building simulation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">energyplus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">faults</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">fouling</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">modeling</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">sensor offset</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">simulation research group</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11/2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Australia</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mangesh Basarkar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Xiufeng Pang</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liping Wang</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tianzhen Hong</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Modeling and simulation of HVAC Results in EnergyPlus</style></title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11/2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LBNL-5564E</style></custom2></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Richard Raustad</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mangesh Basarkar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robin K.

Although the Florida Building Code is strict in the minimum requirements for new construction, several aspects of building construction can be further improved through careful thought and design. This report outlines several energy saving features that can be used to ensure that new buildings meet a new target goal of 85% energy use compared to the 2007 energy code in order to achieve Governor Crist&#039;s executive order to improve the energy code by 15%.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To determine if a target goal of 85% building energy use is attainable, a computer simulation study was performed to determine the energy saving features available which are, in most cases, stricter than the current Florida Building Code. The energy savings features include improvements to building envelop, fenestration, lighting and equipment, and HVAC efficiency. The imp acts of reducing outside air requirements and employing solar water heating were also investigated. Th e purpose of the energy saving features described in this document is intended to provide a simple, prescriptive method for reducing energy consumption using the methodology outlined in ASHRAE Standard 90.1 (ASHRAE, 2007).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are two difficulties in trying to achieve savings in non-residential structures. First, there is significant energy use caused by internal loads for people and equipment and it is difficult to use the energy code to achieve savings in this area relative to a baseline. Secondly, the ASHRAE methodology uses some of the same features that are proposed for the new building, so it may be difficult to claim savings for some strategies that will produce savings such as improved ventilation controls, reduced window area, or reduced plug loads simply because the methodology applies those features to the comparison reference building.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Several measures to improve the building envelope characteristics were simulated. Simply using the selected envelope measures resulted in savings of less than 10% for all building types. However, if such measures are combined with aggressive lighting reductions and improved efficiency HVAC equipment and controls, a target savings of 15% is easily attainable.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Douglas Kosar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Don Shirey</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mangesh Basarkar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muthasamy Swami</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Richard Raustad</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dehumidification Enhancement of Direct Expansion Systems through Component Augmentation of the Cooling Coil</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fifteenth Symposium on Improving Building Systems in Hot and Humid Climates, July 24-26, 2006</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orlando, FL</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Diverse air conditioning products with enhanced dehumidification features are being introduced to meet the increased moisture laden ventilation air requirements of ASHRAE Standard 62 in humid climates. In this evaluation, state point performance spreadsheet models for single path, mixed air packaged systems compare a conventional &quot;off the shelf&quot; direct expansion (DX) cooling system and its performance to systems that augment the DX coil with enhanced dehumidification components, such as heat exchangers and desiccant dehumidifiers. Using common performance metrics for comparisons at ARI rating conditions, these alternative systems define a best practice for enhanced dehumidification performance. The state point performance spreadsheet models combine available algorithms from the EnergyPlus™ simulation program for DX coils and heat exchangers with newly developed algorithms for desiccant dehumidifiers. All the models and their algorithms are applied in EnergyPlus™ for simulations of annual system cooling performance, including sensible and latent loads met, energy consumed, and humidity levels maintained, in select building types and climatic locations. Per this EnergyPlus™ analysis, these enhanced dehumidification systems present challenging decision-making tradeoffs between humidity control improvements over conventional DX systems, condensing (compressor) unit energy consumption reductions versus DX cool and reheat approaches, and fan energy use increases due to the additional component pressure drops.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mangesh Basarkar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muthasamy Swami</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IFC to CONTAM Translator</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SimBuild 2006</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">08/2006</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boston, MA</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record></records></xml>
