    I am waiting on an updated list of NEEA HPWH to update CBECC and schemas.

    HPWH NEEA list update (SVN Rev 2488):

    • Update of NEEA HPWH spreadsheet and CSV list with all new Brands and Models in update list (attached)
    • Update of CBECC enums related to new additions. Brands and Models without CSE presets yet are commented out so that users cannot select them for simulation.
    • Update of CF1RPRF01E_Master.rule to output new Brands/Models. Requires schema updates to finalize PDF processing.
    • Limited testing
    • New JA13 UI logic not yet implemented to allow users to select JA13 for models that are not identified in NEEA HPWH spreadsheet as JA13 compliant. Interface still displays JA13 compliance message if model indicates such.

    Updated status to reflect progress to date.
    Remaining work:

    • Add JA13 checkbox and default/activate as discussed (for JA13 models in table, check box and disable it in UI (to prevent user from unchecking it), and for non-JA13 models, default checkbox to unchecked and enable in UI - allowing user to manually check it)
    • Test and confirm report changes

    GUIDANCE STILL NEEDED - details about precisely how we are to document in the compliance report cases where NEEA HPWH's not classified as JA13 (according to ruleset table) are selected in the model and user indicated the unit IS JA13-compliant.

    HPWH NEEA list update (SVN Rev 2496):

    • Update of NEEA HPWH spreadsheet and CSV list and BEMEnums to avoid conflicts with central HP enumeration values.

    Remaining work:

    • Add JA13 checkbox and default/activate as discussed (for JA13 models in table, check box and disable it in UI (to prevent user from unchecking it), and for non-JA13 models, default checkbox to unchecked and enable in UI - allowing user to manually check it)
    • CSE presets implementation for some new Brands and Models (currently commented out so that users cannot select them for simulation).
    • Update schemas to finalize PDF processing.
    • Test and confirm report changes

    CEC GUIDANCE STILL NEEDED - details about precisely how we are to document in the compliance report cases where NEEA HPWH's not classified as JA13 (according to ruleset table) are selected in the model and user indicated the unit IS JA13-compliant.

    HPWH NEEA list update (SVN Rev 2497):

    • Added UI JA13 Compliant checkbox enabling user to "turn on" JA13 for HPWH models not assigned JA13 in lookup table
    • Modified DHWSys:DemRespCompat flag to account for user enable JA13
    • Limited test diffs show unexpected INCREASE in Proposed Design Water Heating energy use with JA13 "turned on"
    • See attached:
    • 1storyExampleHPWH-1102883-0-0 - CF1RPRF01E-BEES.pdf (JA13 initially off)
    • 1storyExampleHPWH-1102883-0-1 - CF1RPRF01E-BEES.pdf (JA13 "turned on")

    Further testing shows identical results for models with the same ASHPType; one listed as non-JA13, but with the JA13 UI checkbox checked; the other listed as JA13 compliant in the CBECC-Res dataset.

    At the minimum there should be a message under special feature so indicate JA13. My preference is in addition to the special feature, there would be a yes/no box indicating whether the HPWH is JA13

    SVN Revision #2514:

    • Updated CBECC-Res CAR22 BEMEnums.txt and CAR25 BEMEnums.txt to include NEEA HPWH CSE presets implementation for new Brands and Models
    • Updated NEEA HPWH data.xlsx and HPWHData_NEEA.csv:
      • Modified ASHPTypes AeroTherm2023* to BradfordWhiteAeroThermRE2H to match CSE presets
      • Renumbered ASHPType BradfordWhiteAeroThermRE2H80 to avoid conflict with "WorstCaseMedium"
    • Tested each new CSE preset with simulation run

    Remaining work:

    • Schema mods needed for change from AeroTherm2023* to BradfordWhiteAeroThermRE2H to match CSE presets
    • Implement suggested JA13 reporting mods

    Per SourceForge Ticket https://sourceforge.net/p/cbecc-res/tickets/1377/:
    Report DHWHeater JA13 compliance in the following manner:

    • If EITHER the JA13 compliance flag OR the JA13 UI checkbox are "true", then a Special Feature message will be reported in CBECC-Res Section_E (REQUIRED SPECIAL FEATURES) as "One or more heat pump water heaters have been modeled as demand response compatible"
    • If NEITHER the JA13 compliance flag NOR the JA13 UI checkbox are "true", then NO Special Feature message will be reported.
    • In CBECC-Res Section_Tneea (WATER HEATERS - NEEA Heat Pump) added new NOT REPORTED IN PDF true/false elements Tneea09_ResidentialWaterHeaterDemRespCompat and Tneea10_ResidentialWaterHeaterJA13UICompliance to report lookup table and user interface checkbox values respectively. These values will not be displayed in the PDF.

    Rules committed in SVN Revision 2517

    Verified schema updates committed.
