Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] performance curves of York units



True, the z values are normalized and dimensionless, but the x and y values for 
many of the curves are temperatures, in degrees C in EnergyPlus, and typically 
in degrees F in DOE-2.  That is where the problem comes in.  Because of the 2-
part conversion between C and F, this cannnot be corrected with a simple 
multiplier on the coefficients, it becomes an algebraic mess.  So, it is 
easiest to just do the curve-fit using x and y values in deg. C.  DOE-2 will 
not care that the values are in deg. C as long as you are just running the 
curve fit and not trying to do a simulation with the data.
