!IDD_Version 1.2.0.025
! **************************************************************************
!
! Object Description
! ------------------
! To define an object (a record with data), develop a key word that is unique
! Each data item to the object can be A (Alphanumeric string) or N (numeric)
! Number each A and N. This will show how the data items will be put into the
! arrays that are passed to the Input Processor "Get" (GetObjectItem) routines.
! All alpha fields are limited to 60 characters. Numeric fields should be valid
! numerics (can include such as 1.0E+05) and are placed into single precision
! variables.
!
! NOTE: Even though a field may be optional, a comma representing that field must
! be included (unless it is the last field in the object). Since the
! entire input is "field-oriented" and not "keyword-oriented", the EnergyPlus
! Input Processor must have some representation (even if blank) for each
! field.
!
! Object Documentation
! --------------------
! In addition, the following special comments appear one per line and
! most are followed by a value. Comments may apply to a field or the object
! or a group of objects.
!
! Field-level comments:
!
! \field Name of field
! (should be succinct and readable, blanks are encouraged)
!
! \note Note describing the field and its valid values
!
! \required-field To flag fields which may not be left blank
! (this comment has no "value")
!
! \units Units (must be from EnergyPlus standard units list)
! EnergyPlus units are standard SI units
!
! \ip-units IP-Units (for use by input processors with IP units)
! This is only used if the default conversion is not
! appropriate.
!
! \minimum Minimum that includes the following value
!
! \minimum> Minimum that must be > than the following value
!
! \maximum Maximum that includes the following value
!
! \maximum< Maximum that must be < than the following value
!
! \default Default for the field (if N/A then omit entire line)
!
! \autosizable Flag to indicate that this field can be used with the Auto Sizing
! routines to produce calculated results for the field. If a value
! follows this, then that will be used when the "Autosize" feature
! is flagged. To trigger autosizing for a field, enter Autosize as
! the field's value. Only applicable to numeric fields.
!
! \type Type of data for the field -
! integer
! real
! alpha (arbitrary string),
! choice (alpha with specific list of choices, see \key)
! object-list (link to a list of objects defined elsewhere,
! see \object-list and \reference)
!
! \key Possible value for "\type choice" (blanks are significant)
! use multiple \key lines to indicate all valid choices
!
! \object-list Name of a list of object names that are valid entries
! for this field (used with "\reference")
! see ZONE and Surface:HeatTransfer objects below for examples
! ** Note that a field may have only one \object-list reference.
! ** If it must reference more than one object-list, then a composite
! object-list should be created which contains all valid references.
!
! \reference Name of a list of object names to which this object belongs
! used with "\type object-list" and with "\object-list"
! see ZONE and Surface:HeatTransfer objects below for examples:
!
! ZONE,
! A1 , \field Zone Name
! \type alpha
! \reference ZoneNames
! Surface:HeatTransfer,
! A4 , \field InsideFaceEnvironment
! \note Zone the surface is a part of
! \type object-list
! \object-list ZoneNames
!
! For each zone, the field "Zone Name" may be referenced
! by other objects, such as Surface:HeatTransfer, so it is commented
! with "\reference ZoneNames"
! Fields that reference a zone name, such as a Surface:HeatTransfer's
! "InsideFaceEnvironment", are commented as
! "\type object-list" and "\object-list ZoneNames"
! ** Note that a field may have multiple \reference commands.
! ** This is useful if the object belongs to a small specific object-list
! as well as a larger more general object-list.
!
! Object-level comments:
!
! \memo Memo describing the object
!
! \unique-object To flag objects which should appear only once in an idf
! (this comment has no "value")
!
! \required-object To flag objects which are required in every idf
! (this comment has no "value")
!
! \min-fields Minimum number of fields that should be included in the
! object. If appropriate, the Input Processor will fill
! any missing fields with defaults (for numeric fields).
! It will also supply that number of fields to the "get"
! routines using blanks for alpha fields (note -- blanks
! may not be allowable for some alpha fields).
!
! \obsolete This object has been replaced though is kept (and is read)
! in the current version. Please refer to documentation as
! to the dispersal of the object. If this object is encountered
! in an IDF, the EnergyPlus InputProcessor will post an
! appropriate message to the error file.
! usage: \obsolete New=>[New object name]
!
! \extensible This object is dynamically extensible -- meaning, if you
! change the IDD appropriately (if the object has a simple list
! structure -- just add items to the list arguments (i.e. BRANCH LIST).
! These will be automatically redimensioned and used during the simulation.
!
! Group-level comments:
!
! \group Name for a group of related objects
!
!
! Notes on comments
! -----------------
!
! 1. If a particular comment is not applicable (such as units, or default)
! then simply omit the comment rather than indicating N/A.
!
! 2. Memos and notes should be brief (recommend 5 lines or less per block).
! More extensive explanations are expected to be in the user documentation
!
