VE Scripts - HVAC

Post by bbrannon4 »

Has there been any work to include HVAC data to be accessed by Python? Even read only access would be super helpful, though of course there could be use cases for write. I think the primary read use case if for output reports, and specifically for filling out the MEPC LEED documentation form.

Hi Ben - Yes, the "read" functionality is there and pretty comprehensive - except for a few system/coil types that are newer in the software (like the newer heat pump coil type, for example). We're using it to do exactly what you're suggesting - extract system data for MEPC (or MEPC-like) reporting..

I'm attaching a work-in-progress example I generated for a project yesterday..

I'm happy to do a quick show & tell session if you'd like.. Shoot me an email.
