Description

The issues that haven't been resolved in https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio-HPXML/pull/1878 :

  • Check results with E+ bugfix in OS 3.10: https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/pull/11005
  • Allow desuperheater with "experimental" geothermal models with OS 3.10: https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/pull/10945 https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio-HPXML/pull/2124
  • Use gross SHR, remove SHR user input
  • Reconcile difference between standard & experimental models. It might be ~20% difference for a single speed GHP with identical inputs? Ideally we would go forward with the better model and not support both.
  • Resolve E+ error for low ground conductivity test files: Ground side water temperature being too low/high. Probably only affects the experimental model.
  • Add capacity net to gross conversion
  • Replace hardcoded bypass factors and curves in HVAC sizing for standard GHP models
  • Remove pump mass flow rate EMS for var speed system if E+ issue https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/issues/10936 get fixed, and check the two speed system fwf performance curve input/output to make sure the pump is running at a constant flow rate for part of a timestep.
