System Node Setpoints[LINK]
A series of actuators is available for all the setpoints that can be placed on system nodes. System nodes are used to define air and plant loops, and a natural application of EMS is to control the setpoints at these nodes. The node actuators are all called “System Node Setpoint.” There are nine control types:
Temperature Setpoint, (°C)
Temperature Minimum Setpoint (°C)
Temperature Maximum Setpoint (°C)
Humidity Ratio Setpoint (kgWater/kgDryAir)
Humidity Ratio Minimum Setpoint (kgWater/kgDryAir)
Humidity Ratio Maximum Setpoint (kgWater/kgDryAir)
Mass Flow Rate Setpoint (kg/s)
Mass Flow Rate Minimum Available Setpoint (kg/s)
Mass Flow Rate Maximum Available Setpoint (kg/s)
Using these actuators is natural with an EMS. Typically, the controller would place the setpoint on the outlet node. Then the component’s low-level controller should operate to meet the leaving setpoint. Setting the setpoints on nodes should be a common application for the EMS.
Although all nine possible setpoints are available as EMS actuators, it does not follow that EnergyPlus can use all of them. Most components can use only one or two setpoints. If a component cannot control to meet the setpoints on a node, the actuator will do nothing.
Zone HVAC Control[LINK]
Several actuators relate to HVAC zone controls for temperature, humidity, and comfort.
Two actuators called “Zone Temperature Control" are available with the control types of “Heating Setpoint” and “Cooling Setpoint.” These enable you to directly override the zone-by-zone heating and cooling setpoints. The units are in degrees Celsius. The unique identifier is the zone name.
Two actuators called “Zone Humidity Control" are available with the control types “Relative Humidity Humidifying Setpoint” and “Relative Humidity Dehumidifying Setpoint.” These enable you to directly override the zone-by-zone humidity control setpoints. The units are in percent relative humidity. The unique identifier is the zone name.
Two actuators called “Zone Comfort Control" are available with the control types “Heating Setpoint” and “Cooling Setpoint.” These enable you to directly override the zone-by-zone comfort control setpoints. The units are predicted mean vote (PMV). The unique identifier is the zone name.
Plant Supervisory Control[LINK]
Several levels of actuators are available for on/off supervisory control of Plant systems.
Each plant (and condenser) loop has an actuator called “Plant Loop Overall” available with the control type “On/Off Supervisory.” Setting the value of this actuator to 1.0 directs the overall plant to loop to run normally based on other controls. Setting the value of this actuator to 0.0 directs the overall plant loop to shut down regardless of what other controls indicate.
Each plant (and condenser) loop has actuators called “Supply Side Half Loop” and “Demand Side Half Loop” that are available with the control type “On/Off Supervisory.” Setting the value of this actuator to 1.0 directs the plant’s loop side to run normally based on other controls. Setting the value of this actuator to 0.0 directs the plant’s loop side to shut down regardless of what other controls indicate.
Each plant (and condenser) loop has a series of actuators called “Supply Side Branch“ and”Demand Side Branch“ that are available with the control type “On/Off Supervisory.” These are available for each individual branch in a loop. Setting the value of this actuator to 1.0 directs the plant’s branch to run normally based on other controls. Setting the value of this actuator to 0.0 directs the plant’s branch to shut down regardless of what other controls indicate.
Each plant (and condenser) loop has a series of actuators called “Plant Component *” that are available with the control type “On/Off Supervisory.” These are available for each individual component on a loop. Setting the value of this actuator to 0.0 directs the component’s water flow rate to shut down regardless of what other controls indicate. Any other component on the same branch will also be shut down. Setting the value of this actuator to any value <=1.0 sets the current load for this component to the actuator value times the component maximum operating capacity which is the nominal capacity multiplied by the maximum part load ratio.
Outdoor Air System Node Conditions[LINK]
Actuators called “Outdoor Air System Node” are available with control types called “Drybulb Temperature” and “Wetbulb Temperature.” The units are degrees Celsius. These actuators are available for all system nodes that are listed in either an OutdoorAir:Node or OutdoorAir:NodeList input object. You should probably set both the drybulb and wetbulb temperatures to ensure a full description of the moist air conditions.
The air system and many component models require you to specify a node as an outdoor air node to obtain values for the outdoor conditions. For example, outdoor air nodes are used at the inlet to an outdoor air mixer or at the inlet of the heat rejection side of a component model. Typically this is the weather data value for outdoor conditions. But local variations in microclimate may shift the local outdoor air temperature to differ slightly from the weather data. (Currently the only local variation model for this effect in EnergyPlus varies the outdoor air conditions as a function of height.) If you want to experiment with other models for local variations in outdoor air conditions, this EMS actuator allows you to override the outdoor temperature at a particular system node with any model that can be implemented in an Erl program. For example (although better models for the changes in conditions may need be developed), this actuator could be used to examine the energy impacts of warmer outdoor air temperatures experienced by a rooftop packaged HVAC system sitting on a black roof or the cooler conditions experienced by a unit that is located on the shaded side of a building. Another example is to make use of a separate model, outside of EnergyPlus, for some unique type of component (such as a labyrinth or earth-tube) that preconditions outdoor air; the results of that model could be fed into the air system model in EnergyPlus using these actuators.
AirLoopHVAC Availability Status[LINK]
This actuator is available in all models with central, or primary, air systems that are entered with the object “AirLoopHVAC.” Various availability managers use the air loop’s availability status to override control of the central air system fan. The fan may be scheduled to be unavailable during certain times to shut down the system when it is not needed. However, there may be times when the air system should be started to protect from freezing, for example. This actuator can force an air system to start up or shut down.
The control is actuated by setting values for the availability status. The settings are numeric, but represent discrete states the status can take. The following settings are valid:
0.0 ( = NoAction). This tells the air system to do whatever it would usually do without any special override status.
1.0 ( = ForceOff). This overrides the air system to shut down when it would normally want to run.
2.0 ( = CycleOn). This overrides the air system to start up when it would normally be off.
3.0 ( = CycleOnZoneFansOnly). This overrides only the zone fans (not the central fans) if they would normally be off.
Ideal Loads Air System[LINK]
An actuator called “Ideal Loads Air System” is available with control types called “Air Mass Flow Rate” (supply air), “Outdoor Air Mass Flow Rate,” “Air Temperature,” and “Air Humidity Ratio.” These are available in models that use the ideal loads air system, formerly known as purchased air. The units are kg/s for mass flow rate, C for temperature and kgWater/kgDryAir for humidity ratio. The unique identifier is the user-defined name of the ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem input object.
For Air Temperature and Air Humidity Ratio, the overrides are absolute. They are applied after all other limits have been checked. For mass flow rate, the overrides are not absolute,the internal controls will still apply the capacity and flow rate limits if defined in the input object. The EMS override will be ignored if the ideal loads system is off (the availability schedule value is zero or it has been forced “off” by an availability manager). If both the Air Mass Flow Rate and Outdoor Air Mass Flow Rate are overridden, the Outdoor Air Mass Flow Rate will not be allowed to be greater than the override value for Air Mass Flow Rate.
Actuators called “Fan” are available with the control types “Fan Air Mass Flow Rate,” “Fan Pressure Rise,” and “Fan Total Efficiency.” These provide direct control over the fan operation in an air system. The EMS program can override the flow rate by using kg/s. It can override the total pressure rise at the fan by using Pascals. And it can override the fan efficiency on a scale from 0.0 to 1.0. The unique identifier is the name of the fan in the Fan input objects.
An actuator is also available for overriding the autosize value for the fan’s design air flow rate. This actuator is called “Fan” and the control type is “’Fan Autosized Air Flow Rate” with units in m3/s. It is only useful from the calling point named AfterComponentInputReadIn.

These are only useful from the calling point named AfterComponentInputReadIn.
Unitary Equipment[LINK]
Actuators called “Unitary HVAC” are available with the control types “Sensible Load Request” and “Moisture Load Request.” These control the operation of unitary equipment.

The unique identifier is the name of the unitary equipment in the input objects.

The units are kg/s. This actuator is used to control the mass flow rate. Normally, the flow rate of single duct constant volume no reheat air terminals is fixed by the input, sizing results or OA requirement for DOA system, but this actuator provides a way to override the flow with Erl programs.

Another actuator called “Pump” is available with the control type “Pump Pressure Rise” (in Pa). This allows you to override the pump pressurise rise and therefore the power consumption of the pump, which is calculated as:
P=˙Q⋅ΔPoverrideηtotal
where P is the pump power (W), ˙Q is the volume flow rate (), ηtotal is the pump total efficiency (%) and ΔPoverride is your EMS-overriden pressure rise (Pa).
The unique identifier in both these actuator is the name of Pump Input object.

The unique identifier is the name of the AirConditioner:VariableRefrigerantFlow input object.

An actuator called “Variable Refrigerant Flow Terminal Unit” is available with a control type called “Part Load Ratio.” This is nondimensional and takes numbers between 0.0 and 1.0. The unique identifier is the name of the ZoneHVAC:TerminalUnit:VariableRefrigerantFlow input object. This control over rides the part-load ratio of the terminal unit and can be applied only when the cooling or heating minimum and maximum outdoor temperature limits of the condenser (i.e., the AirConditioner:VariableRefrigerantFlow object) are not exceeded.
