Rule ID: 22-40
Rule Description: For systems using purchased chilled water, the cooling source shall be modeled as purchased chilled water in both the proposed design and baseline building design. If any system in the proposed design uses purchased chilled water, all baseline systems with chilled water coils shall use purchased chilled water. On-site chillers and direct expansion equipment shall not be modeled in the baseline building design.
Rule Assertion: B-RMR = expected value
Appendix G Section: Section 22 CHW&CW Loop
Appendix G Section Reference: Section G3.1.1.1 & G3.1.1.3.1 Building System-Specific Modeling Requirements for the Baseline model
Applicability: All required data elements exist for B_RMR
Applicability Checks:
- P-RMR is modeled with purchased chilled water.
Manual Check: None
Evaluation Context: Building
Data Lookup: None
Function Call:
- check_purchased_chw_hhw_status_dict()
- get_baseline_system_types()
Applicability Checks:
-
Check if P-RMR is modeled with purchased chilled water or purchased hot water/steam:
purchased_chw_hhw_status_dict = check_purchased_chw_hhw_status_dict(P_RMR)
-
If P-RMR is not modeled with purchased chilled water, rule is not applicable to B-RMR:
if NOT purchased_chw_hhw_status_dict["PURCHASED_COOLING"]: RULE_NOT_APPLICABLE
-
Else, P-RMR is modeled with purchased chilled water, continue to rule logic:
else: CHECK_RULE_LOGIC
-
- Check if B-RMR is modeled with any air-side system that is Type-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11.1, 11.2, 12, 13, 1b, 3b, 5b, 6b, 7b, 8b, 11b, 12b, 13b, i.e. any air-side system using cooling source other than purchased chilled water, set check flag to True:
if any(sys_type in baseline_hvac_system_dict.keys() for sys_type in ["SYS-1", "SYS-2", "SYS-3", "SYS-4", "SYS-5", "SYS-6", "SYS-7", "SYS-8", "SYS-9", "SYS-11.1", "SYS-11.2", "SYS-12", "SYS-13", "SYS-1B", "SYS-3B", "SYS-5B", "SYS-6B", "SYS-7B", "SYS-8B", "SYS-11B", "SYS-12B", "SYS-13B"]): check_flag = TRUE
Rule Assertion:
-
Case 1: If check flag is True:
if check_flag: FAIL
-
Case 2: Else:
PASS
