ZONECONTROL:THERMOSTAT:TEMPERATUREANDHUMIDITY

This object modifies a ZoneControl:Thermostat object to effect temperature control based on zone air humidity conditions.

Thermostat Name

Type: list of objects (ZONECONTROL:THERMOSTAT:STAGEDDUALSETPOINT or ZONECONTROL:THERMOSTAT)
Enter the name of a ZoneControl:Thermostat object whose operation is to be modified to effect temperature control based on zone air humidity conditions. If the ZoneControl: Thermostat object references a ZoneList, simply enter the name of the ZoneControl:Thermostat object and this temperature and humidity thermostat control will be applied to all zones in the ZoneList. If the ZoneControl:Thermostat object references a ZoneList but it is desired that only a single zone within the ZoneList be controlled based on temperature and humidity control, then the name to be put here is where the Thermostat Name is the the name of the ZoneControl:Thermostat object.

Dehumidifying Relative Humidity Setpoint Schedule Name

Type: list of objects (SCHEDULE:COMPACT, SCHEDULE:YEAR, EXTERNALINTERFACE:FUNCTIONALMOCKUPUNITIMPORT:TO:SCHEDULE, SCHEDULE:CONSTANT, SCHEDULE:FILE or EXTERNALINTERFACE:SCHEDULE)
Schedule values should be in Relative Humidity (percent)

Dehumidification Control Type

Type: choice (Overcool or None)
Default: Overcool

Overcool Range Input Method

Type: choice (Constant or Scheduled)
Default: Constant

Overcool Constant Range

Type: real number
Maximum Overcool temperature range for cooling setpoint reduction. Used with Dehumidification Control Type = Overcool. A value of 0.0 indicates no zone temperature overcooling will be provided to gain additional dehumidification.
Unit: deltaC
Minimum: 0.0
Maximum: 3.0
Default: 1.7

Overcool Range Schedule Name

Type: list of objects (SCHEDULE:COMPACT, SCHEDULE:YEAR, EXTERNALINTERFACE:FUNCTIONALMOCKUPUNITIMPORT:TO:SCHEDULE, SCHEDULE:CONSTANT, SCHEDULE:FILE or EXTERNALINTERFACE:SCHEDULE)
Schedule values of 0.0 indicates no zone temperature overcooling will be provided to gain additional dehumidification. Schedule values should be >= 0 and <= 3 (deltaC).

Overcool Control Ratio

Type: real number
The value of this input field is used to adjust the cooling setpoint temperature (established by the associated ZoneControl:Thermostat object) downward based on the difference between the zone air relative humidity level and the dehumidifying relative humidity setpoint.
Unit: percent/K
Minimum: 0.0
Default: 3.6
