DOE-2 Reference Manual Version 2.1 - DOE2.com

Also, when the user specifies COOL-CONTROL; WARMEST or HEAT-CONTROL;COLDEST, this implies that the electrical or mechanical hardware is, orwill be, available in the building to transmit a signal from each ZONE,or a sampling of ZONEs, to a central location for a comparison of ZONEsignals to determine which ZONE is the COLDEST and which is the WARMEST.Although DOE-2 performs a comparison of all ZONEs in the SYSTEM, to findwhich is the COLDEST and which is the WARMEST, in actual buildings thecomparison is often made on a sampling of representative ZONEs in theSYSTEM.3. The user cannot assume that his system is efficient, if he gets no errordiagnostics from his simulation. The program has no system optimizingroutines.Organization of System Control Strategies:The available system control strategies in DOE-2 are dependent upon .(1) the user's SYSTEM-TYPE and(2) the keyword values specified by the user for his SYSTEM-TYPE.The following discussions are organized by "strategy within SYSTEM-TYPE".Having read this subsection, the user should next find his SYSTEM-TYPE in thediscussions and read the general information subsection on his SYSTEM-TYPE.Then, the user should search the examples for the desired control strategywithin his SYSTEM-TYPE. The user may not always find his desired controlstrategy but normally an example will be given, from which the user candevelop his desired control strategy. Therefore, an example of one or more ofthe major control strategies are given for each SYSTEM-TYPE (or group ofSYSTEM-TYPEs).IV.116 (Revised 5/81)
