Since loops are not part of the architecture of all BEM software, replace that approach with one that links components together and attaches the controls that are currently in FluidLoop and FluidLoopDesignAndControl to those components. The components are:
HeatingSystem
CoolingSystem
Terminal
Boiler
Chiller
HeatRejection
Pump
ExternalFluidSource
ServiceWaterHeatingEquipment
MiscellaneousEquipment
Also, make the type of "loop" based on its components, so instead of saying something is a hot water loop, it is a hot water loop based on the presence of a boiler.
Items in the current FluidLoop and FluidLoopDesignAndControl data groups that would have to be relocated:
type (heating/cooling/heating and cooling/condenser)
pump_power_per_flow_rate
design_supply_temperature
design_return_temperature
is_sized_using_coincident_load
minimum_flow_fraction
operation (continuous/intermittent/scheduled)
operation_schedule
flow_control (fixed/variable flow)
temperature_reset_type (no reset/outsider air reset/load reset)
outdoor_high_for_loop_supply_reset_temperature
outdoor_low_for_loop_supply_reset_temperature
loop_supply_temperature_at_outdoor_low
loop_supply_temperature_at_outdoor_high
loop_supply_temperature_at_low_load
has_integrated_waterside_economizer
It might make sense to have a FluidTemperatureControl data group that would encapsulate many of these.
Note that SPC 205 is working on a topology task that might be related for connecting the components.
This was discussed during the October 11, 2024 schema working group call. We decided that the next step was to mock up the changes on a separate branch to see how they would work. This would follow the approach being used in Std 205 and Std 223 which (I believe) are both still being developed.
