<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a model with 233 zones. Right now, every zone has a water loop heat pump. I want to convert these all to packaged single zone systems. To do this, I am working in the .inp file and doing a “find and replace” in NoteTab. The replacing
of the system type is easy. I simply search for the “type = HP” line and replace with “type = PSZ”. However, the PSZ system requires a control zone. I would like each control zone to be the zone in which that particular system resides. Which means,
for each of my 233 zones, I will have a different control zone (i.e. no longer a simple find and replace search).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone know of a way to use “find and replace” (or another method) to set each control zone with the zone name which the system resides?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is what the .inp file should look like for a packaged single zone system:<o:p></o:p></p>
