- BH.oM.MEP.Equipment.Parts.IPart
Properties¶
Defining properties¶
The following properties are defined on the class
| Name | Type | Description | Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|
| TotalSupplyAirFlow | double | Total Supply Airflow accounts for the total amount of air supplied to the building by the Air Handling Unit | - |
| TotalSupplyAirExternalStaticPressure | double | Total supply external static pressure denotes the resistance within the system that the supply fan has to overcome from filters, grilles, coils, etc | - |
| TotalReturnAirFlow | double | Total Return Airflow accounts for the total amount of air returned from the building to the Air Handling Unit | - |
| TotalReturnAirExternalStaticPressure | double | Total return external static pressure denotes the resistance within the system that the return fan has to overcome from grilles, ducts, etc | - |
| TotalDesignOutdoorAirFlow | double | Total Design Outdoor Airflow accounts for the total amount of outdoor air introduced to the supply air that goes to the building from the Air Handling Unit | - |
| DemandControlledVentilationMinimumOutdoorAirFlow | double | Demand Controlled Ventilation Minimum Outdoor Airflow denotes that amount of outdoor air that is required to be supplied to the building, at a minimum | - |
| TotalOutdoorAirFlowExternalStaticPressure | double | Total outdoor air external static pressure denotes the resistance within the system that the outdoor air intake fan has to overcome | - |
| TotalReliefAirFlow | double | Total Relief Airflow accounts for the total amount of extract/exhaust air that is removed from the system and introduced to the atmosphere | - |
| TotalReliefExternalStaticPressure | double | Total Relief Airflow external static pressure denotes the resistance within the system that the relief/extract/exhaust fan has to overcome | - |
| SupplyAirEconomiser | bool | Supply Air Economisers allow additional outdoor air to be introduced to the system when outdoor conditions are favorable (typically cool and dry) | - |
| WaterEconomiser | bool | Water Economisers allow returned fluids to be introduced to the system when conditions are favorable | - |
