Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] how to size component and plant



Equipment is autosized by specifying the word "autosize" for specific 
inputs in various equipment objects. See example file 5ZoneWaterSystems.

For example, in 5ZoneWaterSystems.idf the maximum flow rate in the hot 
water plant can be autosized. The use of autosizing requires sizing 
objects to specify design intent.

    Water,                   !- Fluid Type

    100,                     !- Maximum Loop Temperature {C}
    10,                      !- Minimum Loop Temperature {C}
    autosize,                !- Maximum Loop Flow Rate {m3/s}

  Sizing:Plant,

    5.0;                     !- Loop Design Temperature Difference {deltaC}

Equipment connected to the plant can also be autosized in a similar 
manner and require zone and system sizing objects. It is usually better 
to autosize all equipment in a simulation instead of manually sizing 
some equipment and autosizing other equipment.

The Simulation Control object must also be configured to run the sizing 
procedures.
