What are Capacity requirements for Condenser

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Context

STD 211 6.2.1.3.a states System design capacity (kW, Btu/h, and/or tons) for HVAC Systems. Cooling Plants, Heating Plants and Deliveries have capacities, but auc:CondenserPlant does not.

BEDES does not have any reference for condenser plant capacities.

Task

Determine ASHRAE's definition for condenser plant capacities. Resolution of this issue is to either

  1. Decide it's not necessary, and we won't check for it
  2. Decide it is necessary and insert it at the level of auc:CondenserPlant/*/auc:Capacity - this is the approach of other plant types (have capacity inside of the specific type, e.g. AirCooled, WaterCooled, GroundSource, GlycolCooledDryCooler). Or insert it at the level of auc:CondenserPlant/auc:Capacity.

Sorry for the delay. It appears that this is necessary. I would use the same approach as the other instances (auc:CondenserPlant/*/auc:Capacity).
