honeybee_openstudio.shw module

OpenStudio SHWSystem translators.

honeybee_openstudio.shw.shw_system_to_openstudio(shw, os_shw_connections, total_flow, water_temp, os_model)[source]

Translate a Honeybee SHWSystem to OpenStudio PlantLoop with equipment.

Parameters:

  • shw – The Honeybee-energy SHWSystem object to be translated to OpenStudio. This input can also be None, in which case a default system will be created using a plant loop with a generic District Heating water heater.

  • os_shw_connections – A list of OpenStudio WaterUseConnections objects for all of the connections to be made to the system. These are typically obtained by using the hot_water_to_openstudio function in this package on the Room.properties.energy.service_hot_water object.

  • total_flow – A number for the total flow rate of water in the system in m3/s. This is typically obtained by summing the individual Room flow rates across the system.

  • water_temp – A number for the temperature of the water in Celsius. This is typically obtained by taking the maximum hot water temperature across the individual Room target_temperature.

  • os_model – The OpenStudio Model to which the service hot water system will be added.
