Residential linked sizing error

[Justin-DeBlois]

I traced errors running certain residential HVAC system types with linked sizing to the sizing map file in ModelKit's install folder, and want to share my edits to the file in case it helps any other teams. I have not made comprehensive updates by any means, but the changes helped TRC to successfully run our more recent residential measures with linked sizing.

Default file location: \Program Files (x86)\Modelkit Caboodle\lib\rubygems\gems\modelkit-energyplus-0.3.0\resources\sizing-map\9-2.csv
The modified file: 9-2.csv

For convenience of reviewers, the modified file appears to have these rows added:

change?	class_name_dc	field_name	IDD index
	AirLoopHVAC:UnitaryHeatOnly	Heating Supply Air Flow Rate	7
+	AirLoopHVAC:UnitaryHeatOnly	Supply Air Flow Rate During Cooling Operation	7
	AirLoopHVAC:UnitaryHeatPump:AirToAir	Cooling Supply Air Flow Rate	5
+	AirLoopHVAC:UnitaryHeatPump:AirToAir	Supply Air Flow Rate During Cooling Operation	5
	AirLoopHVAC:UnitaryHeatPump:AirToAir	Heating Supply Air Flow Rate	6
+	AirLoopHVAC:UnitaryHeatPump:AirToAir	Supply Air Flow Rate During Heating Operation	6
	AirTerminal:SingleDuct:ConstantVolume:NoReheat	Maximum Air Flow Rate	5
+	AirTerminal:SingleDuct:ConstantVolume:NoReheat	Design Size Maximum Air Flow Rate	5

For background, I understand that there is no completely automated procedure to generate the sizing map. One has to run models and check that all fields in ComponentSizing output table are captured in the sizing map. Justin, I am guessing you found these missing entries by debugging EnergyPlus errors from one autosized input field at a time.

Thanks for adding this. That's correct, I made the changes manually.
