Extract HVAC Data

Extract HVAC Data

• This module is used to extract all HVAC data from a selected ApacheHVAC file, return dict and save to a json file.
  It should work with any version of VE, although the other modules for this app must be run with Python 3.7.
  The intent is to keep this script as simple and robust as possible so that it pulls all data and doesn't get stuck
  on errors. We will use other scripts to read, parse and report on that data.
  The format of the json file will loosely follow the structure of the VE APIs, including:
  - HVACNetwork - General info about the network (ApHVAC file)
      - (Airside) Systems (network.systems)
          - Components (network.system.components)
          - Controllers (network.system.controllers)
          - Systems - system attributes + system.get_system_parameters()
      - Chilled water loops [later]
      - Hot water loops [later]

• To use: Run script from VE-Python Navigator, select ASP file and the JSON file will be created.

  Energy units are kWh or kBtu based on the user’s VE preferences.
