1. Preparation of Inputa. Prepare Building Drawings(1) Draw a simplified floor plan and elevation view of each uniquefloor.(2) Identify and outline on these floor plans the individuallycontrolled thermal zones or spaces. Usually a core zone,perimeter zone, computer rooms, cafeterias, unconditionedspaces and so on are each identified as separate thermallones. Each SPACE in lOADS must be identical to a thermalZONE in the SYSTEMS program. Therefore, it would be a goodidea to read applicable sections of Chap. IV to determine therecommended way of defining the thermal zones from a secondaryHVAC system (distribution system) viewpoint.(3) labe I each separa te thermal zone with a un i que "user name"(U-name) on the floor plan.b. Prepare the LDl Instruction(1) Make one copy of each user worksheet.(2) Duplicate as many additional copies of each worksheet as isnecessary for the building being modeled. For instance, ifthe building has 10 thermal zones, 10 SPACE worksheets shouldbe filled out.(3) Arrange the worksheets in the order described in the section,"lDL Input Sequence," and enter the appropriate data bykeypunched cards or at a terminal, depending upon the hardwareavailable at your site.(4) Familiarity with the LDl instructions will probably allow theuser to dispense with the worksheets. Instead the user willcode the LDl instructions directly from a list of commands,keywords, code-words, and values.c. Submit Input DeckEvery computer site or organization has certain requirements for userjob and cost account information (or log-on instructions). local sitemanuals should contain the necessary information on user passwords,cost algorithms, telephone numbers, and so on.(1) Prepare the site-specific job, password, and accountinstructions, and place them at the beginning of the deck.(2) Attach the job control language (Jel) deck for accessing theOOE-2 computer programs.II 1.2 (Revised 5/81)
