<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Spaces are defined in the BDL before systems and zones. Systems are neither parents nor children of spaces, so there is no way for spaces to reference them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">You could reference the <i>floors</i> of the spaces if there is a relationship of systems to floors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">What you <i>could</i> do is include the name of the system in the space description (C-ACTIVITY-DESC) and then reference the space description with a SWITCH statement.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m modeling a hospital building with some areas that are 24/7 and others that are on a typical 8-5 M-F schedule. There are numerous AHUs and each AHU operates on one of these two schedules. What I’d like to do is write a default script
that sets the <b><i>space</i></b> interior load schedules (lighting, occupancy, equipment) based on which AHU that space’s thermal zone is assigned to.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I often use the trick of assigning a unique min. humidity ratio for each system in a model and then writing a switch() script to change
<b><i>zone</i></b> properties, but I am having trouble figuring out the syntax to use this trick to change space properties. There’s something in the BDL hierarchy that I’m not getting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone had success with this before?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
