That’s exactly where I looked! The explanation is clear, but it seems that the purpose is not so clear. I think everything those objects accomplish is easily done by changing other inputs that pre-existed the FaultModel objects, so why make a new group?

Subject: RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] FaultModel objects
Did you look at the documentation?
They should explain things. IOReference. Group - Operational Faults.
I think it has been in since at least V8.0

I was made aware of the FaultModel objects within E+ last week at the ASHRAE / IBPSA conference and took a look at them today. An example is: FaultModel:TemperatureSensorOffset:OutdoorAir.
I�m not sure what theiheir intended use is! It seems that for an outdoor air sensor fault�s impact on economizer operaeration, I could just change the economizer changeover setpoint �.
