Issue overview

In 22.2.0, there’s a new error in ZoneHVAC:PackagedTerminal:AC/HP if you don’t supply a Supply Air Fan Operating Mode Schedule when you have a Fan:ConstantVolume

   ** Severe  ** ZoneHVAC:PackagedTerminalAirConditioner = ZONE HVAC PACKAGED TERMINAL AIR CONDITIONER 4
   **   ~~~   ** Fan type must be Fan:OnOff or Fan:SystemModel when Supply Air Fan Operating Mode Schedule Name is blank

Except:

  • if I pass a Always 0 schedule, there’s another error saying value must be > 0 for Fan:CV.
  • If I pass Always 1 schedule, my EUI changes quite dramatically.
  • If I use a Fan:OnOff with always 0, my EUI is closer but still different.

We need a way to handle this so we don't end up with too broken models (lots are failing on OS-resources right now) and ideally without changing EUI too drastically.
