CompositeWallConstructions.idf[LINK]
The Reference Data Set CompositeWallConstructions.idf contains constructions and associated materials for a set of composite walls. These are walls – such as stud walls – that have complicated heat-flow paths so that the conduction is two- or three-dimensional.
An example entry in this data set–for an insulated 2“x4” steel-stud wall–looks like:

The materials here are not real materials but are “equivalent” materials obtained from finite-difference modeling. The thickness, conductivity, density and specific heat values of the material layers for the different constructions have been taken from the ASHRAE report “Modeling Two- and Three-Dimensional Heat Transfer through Composite Wall and Roof Assemblies in Hourly Energy Simulation Programs (1145-TRP),” by Enermodal Engineering Limited, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the Polish Academy of Sciences, January 2001. EnergyPlus will calculate conduction transfer functions using these materials. The heat transfer based on these conduction transfer functions will then be very close to what would be calculated with a two- or three-dimensional heat transfer calculation.
For stud walls, using these composite constructions will give more accurate heat flow than you would get by manually dividing the wall into a stud section and a non-stud section.
If your wall’s exterior or interior roughness or thermal, solar or visible absorptances are different from those in the data set, you can make the appropriate changes to the first material (the outside layer) or the third material (the inside layer). None of the other values should be changed.

ElectronicEnthalpyEconomizerCurves.idf[LINK]
These curves approximate the electronic (variable) enthalpy curves used to simulate humidity biased economizer control. This control scheme adjusts the upper outdoor air humidity ratio based on outdoor air dry-bulb temperature as shown in the figure below. California Title 24 ACM 2005 lists the optional economizer control strategies. One of these control strategies is referred to as variable enthalpy control curve A. This control strategy is also cited in ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004, using the term “electronic enthalpy”. Electronic enthalpy curves A-D are included in this dataset.
For the curves provided, curve A has the highest limit and curve D has the lowest limit. These curve objects represent a single-point electronic enthalpy control curve with the curve object’s minimum value of x (temperature) crossing the psychrometric chart’s saturation line and the curve object’s maximum value of x crossing the psychrometric chart’s dry-bulb temperature axis. The curve object’s minimum (maximum) value of x should be just low (high) enough to ensure that the curve crosses the psychrometric chart’s saturation line (temperature axis). The curves are evaluated at an outdoor dry-bulb temperature to provide a maximum operating outdoor humidity ratio for economizer operation. If the outdoor humidity ratio is greater than this maximum value, economizer operation is terminated. These curves may be used with other economizer limits to create multi-point economizer control (Temperature Limit, Temperature Low Limit, Enthalpy Limit, and Dewpoint Temperature Limit).
The electronic enthalpy curve equation represents a unique curve and is a function of both temperature and relative humidity. The equation is set equal to a constant which provides a unique temperature for each relative humidity entered into the equation. Each control curve has a unique constant as shown in the table below. Other constants may be used to develop specialized electronic enthalpy curves.
where:K = Constant value to represent specific curve
T = Outdoor Dry-Bulb Temperature (C)
RH = Outdoor Relative Humidity (%)
NOTE: modifying the RH multiplier (-0.144599) tends to “wag” the curvature at the upper relative humidities. Decreasing the multiplier “wags” the upper portion of the curve downward, increasing “wags” it upwards. Modifying the constant (K) moves the intersection of the curve with the Dry-Bulb Temperature axis. Increasing the constant moves the intersection to the left as shown in the figure, decreasing moves to the right. The minimum and/or maximum x boundaries in the curve objects may have to be adjusted when modifying the equation.

Example Curve A:[LINK]
The method described here was used to create each of the four “cubic” curve objects provided in the electronic enthalpy economizer control data set.
Step 1: Substitute the curve constant K for curve A (12) into the electronic enthalpy curve equation and solve for temperature. Then identify the outdoor air dry-bulb temperatures at known values of relative humidity (e.g., columns 1 and 2 in the table below). Psychrometric routines are helpful for this step.
Step 2: Identify humidity ratio at each point (e.g. column 3 in the following table). Psychrometric routines are helpful for this step.

Step 3: Use multiple linear regression to solve one of the following equations:
Quadratic Curve: Humidity Ratio = A0 + A1*Temperature + A2*Temperature2
Cubic Curve: Humidity Ratio = A0 + A1*Temperature + A2*Temperature2 + A3*Temperature3
Step 4: Use the coefficients calculated in the multiple linear regression to create a cubic (or quadratic) curve object.

GHLERefData.idf[LINK]
This file contains sample input for the ground loop heat exchanger model. The response of the borehole/ground is found from the ‘G-function’ that is defined in the input as series of ‘n’ pairs of values (LNTTSn, GNFCn). It is important to note that the G-functions have to be calculated for specific GHE configurations and borehole resitance, length and borehole/ length ratio. That is, the parameters for the units vary with each design. The data in this file are intended as examples/samples and may not represent actual designs.
The sample data has been calculated for a number of configurations:
1 x 2 boreholes
4 x 4 boreholes
8 x 8 boreholes
Data is given for both ‘standard’ grout (k=0.744 W/m.K) and ‘thermally enhanced’ grout (k= 1.471 W/m.K). The flow rate per borehole is .1514 kg/s. The pipe given is 0.75in. Dia. SDR11 HDPE. The fluid is water. The borehole/length ratio is 0.06 (76.2m/4.572m [300ft/15ft])

AirCooledChillers.idf[LINK]
This dataset includes performance curves for air cooled electric EIR chiller (object type: Chiller:Electric:EIR). Knowing the type of chiller that you want to simulate, you can find it and the associated performance curves in the dataset file. A brief synopsis of AirCooledChiller.idf is shown below:
ASHRAE_2005_HOF_Materials.idf[LINK]
This reference data set contains content from two chapters in the ASHRAE 2005 Handbook of Fundamentals, Chapter 30 - the Cooling and Heating Loads calculations chapter has both materials with thermal properties and constructions for Light, Medium, and Heavy buildings. Chapter 25 contains details thermal properties of many materials – no constructions are created from that data.
The following materials and constructions are created from ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals, 2005, Chapter 30, Table 19 and Table 22. These are representative of materials and constructions used in Cooling and Heating Load Calculations.
Boilers.idf[LINK]
This dataset includes performance curves for non-electric boilers. Reference: Condensing Technology, Technical Series, Viessmann, 9446 803 - 1 GB Nov. 2004.

Chillers.idf[LINK]
This dataset includes object types for specific (by manufacturer and type) Chiller:Electric:EIR and Chiller: Electric:ReformulatedEIR and associated performance curves.
Knowing the type of chiller that you want to simulate, you can find it and the associated performance curves in the dataset file. By example, here is part of the comments in the Chiller.idf file:
CompositeWallConstructions.idf[LINK]
The Reference Data Set CompositeWallConstructions.idf contains constructions and associated materials for a set of composite walls. These are walls – such as stud walls – that have complicated heat-flow paths so that the conduction is two- or three-dimensional.
An example entry in this data set–for an insulated 2“x4” steel-stud wall–looks like:
The materials here are not real materials but are “equivalent” materials obtained from finite-difference modeling. The thickness, conductivity, density and specific heat values of the material layers for the different constructions have been taken from the ASHRAE report “Modeling Two- and Three-Dimensional Heat Transfer through Composite Wall and Roof Assemblies in Hourly Energy Simulation Programs (1145-TRP),” by Enermodal Engineering Limited, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the Polish Academy of Sciences, January 2001. EnergyPlus will calculate conduction transfer functions using these materials. The heat transfer based on these conduction transfer functions will then be very close to what would be calculated with a two- or three-dimensional heat transfer calculation.
For stud walls, using these composite constructions will give more accurate heat flow than you would get by manually dividing the wall into a stud section and a non-stud section.
If your wall’s exterior or interior roughness or thermal, solar or visible absorptances are different from those in the data set, you can make the appropriate changes to the first material (the outside layer) or the third material (the inside layer). None of the other values should be changed.
Following is a summary of the constructions in the composite wall data set:
DXCoolingCoil.idf[LINK]
This dataset includes performance curves for the object types Coil:Cooling:DX:SingleSpeed and Coil:Cooling:DX:TwoStageWithHumidityControlMode. This data set is developed by using catalog data published by different manufacturers which are listed in the file.

ElectronicEnthalpyEconomizerCurves.idf[LINK]
These curves approximate the electronic (variable) enthalpy curves used to simulate humidity biased economizer control. This control scheme adjusts the upper outdoor air humidity ratio based on outdoor air dry-bulb temperature as shown in the figure below. California Title 24 ACM 2005 lists the optional economizer control strategies. One of these control strategies is referred to as variable enthalpy control curve A. This control strategy is also cited in ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004, using the term “electronic enthalpy”. Electronic enthalpy curves A-D are included in this dataset.

For the curves provided, curve A has the highest limit and curve D has the lowest limit. These curve objects represent a single-point electronic enthalpy control curve with the curve object’s minimum value of x (temperature) crossing the psychrometric chart’s saturation line and the curve object’s maximum value of x crossing the psychrometric chart’s dry-bulb temperature axis. The curve object’s minimum (maximum) value of x should be just low (high) enough to ensure that the curve crosses the psychrometric chart’s saturation line (temperature axis). The curves are evaluated at an outdoor dry-bulb temperature to provide a maximum operating outdoor humidity ratio for economizer operation. If the outdoor humidity ratio is greater than this maximum value, economizer operation is terminated. These curves may be used with other economizer limits to create multi-point economizer control (Temperature Limit, Temperature Low Limit, Enthalpy Limit, and Dewpoint Temperature Limit).
Form of the Electronic Enthalpy Curve Equation:[LINK]
The electronic enthalpy curve equation represents a unique curve and is a function of both temperature and relative humidity. The equation is set equal to a constant which provides a unique temperature for each relative humidity entered into the equation. Each control curve has a unique constant as shown in the table below. Other constants may be used to develop specialized electronic enthalpy curves.
where:K = Constant value to represent specific curve
T = Outdoor Dry-Bulb Temperature (C)
RH = Outdoor Relative Humidity (%)
Example Curve A:[LINK]
The method described here was used to create each of the four “cubic” curve objects provided in the electronic enthalpy economizer control data set.
Step 1: Substitute the curve constant K for curve A (12) into the electronic enthalpy curve equation and solve for temperature. Then identify the outdoor air dry-bulb temperatures at known values of relative humidity (e.g., columns 1 and 2 in the table below). Psychrometric routines are helpful for this step.
Step 2: Identify humidity ratio at each point (e.g. column 3 in the following table). Psychrometric routines are helpful for this step.
Step 3: Use multiple linear regression to solve one of the following equations:
Quadratic Curve: Humidity Ratio = A0 + A1*Temperature + A2*Temperature2
Cubic Curve: Humidity Ratio = A0 + A1*Temperature + A2*Temperature2 + A3*Temperature3
Step 4: Use the coefficients calculated in the multiple linear regression to create a cubic (or quadratic) curve object.

GHLERefData.idf[LINK]
This file contains sample input for the ground loop heat exchanger model. The response of the borehole/ground is found from the ‘G-function’ that is defined in the input as series of ‘n’ pairs of values (LNTTSn, GNFCn). It is important to note that the G-functions have to be calculated for specific GHE configurations and borehole resitance, length and borehole/ length ratio. That is, the parameters for the units vary with each design. The data in this file are intended as examples/samples and may not represent actual designs.
The sample data has been calculated for a number of configurations:
Data is given for both ‘standard’ grout (k=0.744 W/m.K) and ‘thermally enhanced’ grout (k= 1.471 W/m.K). The flow rate per borehole is .1514 kg/s. The pipe given is 0.75in. Dia. SDR11 HDPE. The fluid is water. The borehole/length ratio is 0.06 (76.2m/4.572m [300ft/15ft])
