Hi,

Multiple users in this forum including myself have sought assistance to relate a cooling coil to a specific zone/room ID.

IES team, could you please help? I could not find any documentation about this from the API guide and technical support team directed me to this forum. This is hindering my company's major projects.

Thank you,
Ivan

p/s: I am also happy to work with your API team on enhancing this if this feature is not available. I have a HVAC & software eng background :)

Hi Ivan,

One of our API developers replied with the following regarding your post.

Relating ApHVAC coils to rooms is dependent on the network layout i.e. coils outside (primary) or inside (secondary) a multiplex etc.
It is also dependent on what the user wants – I assume the secondary coils to rooms relationship?

Because of layout there is no direct API method you have to work it out.

I attach a RAR with an example of how the users might do this: https://send.iesve.com/index.php/s/5dTqKPWwj4TGcF9

• Sample test model zip file (users will need to run an Apache sim to make an APS) I used with …
• An example Python script with comments
• Sample output running the script with the model

The script demonstrates relating coils and rooms using system id, multiplex id and layer #.
Up to the user to use this to create what data structure /output they want
