#air_terminal_single_duct_vav_reheat_apply_initial_prototype_damper_position(air_terminal_single_duct_vav_reheat, zone_oa_per_area) ⇒ Boolean

Set the initial minimum damper position based on OA rate of the space and the template. Zones with low OA per area get lower initial guesses. Final position will be adjusted upward as necessary by Standards.AirLoopHVAC.apply_minimum_vav_damper_positions

Parameters:

  • air_terminal_single_duct_vav_reheat (OpenStudio::Model::AirTerminalSingleDuctVAVReheat) —

    the air terminal object

  • zone_oa_per_area (Double) —

    the zone outdoor air per area in m^3/s*m^2

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    returns true if successful, false if not
