Identify objects to change/refactor for OpenStudio 3

[macumber]

OpenStudio 3 will be an opportunity to remove or refactor any existing objects. Let's identify objects here and then create new tickets to do the work

Move standards fields of OS:SpaceType and OS:Building to be AdditionalProperties?

Remove OS:StandardsInformation:Material and OS:StandardsInformation:Construction, replace with AdditionalProperties?

[jmarrec]

• deprecate BoilerHotWater "Design Water Outlet Temperature" field #3379: deprecate BoilerHotWater "Design Water Outlet Temperature" field to match E+ (3.0 refactors: remove ThermalZone::addEquipment, remove BoilerHotWater::designWaterOutletTemperature, etc #3846)
• jmarrec@09d99fc: Change SiteWaterMainsTemperature default enum value to CorrelationFromWeatherFile to match E+ (3.0 refactors: remove ThermalZone::addEquipment, remove BoilerHotWater::designWaterOutletTemperature, etc #3846)
• API methods return infinity #2670: address method that can return infinity, perhaps make it an OptionalDouble return type for SpaceInfiltrationDesignFlowRate_Impl::getFlowPerExteriorWallArea (or add a LOG_AND_THROW if you end up with infinity due to no exterior wall area)
• Stop publicly exposing ThermalZone::addEquipment  #3758: Stop publicly exposing ThermalZone::addEquipment (3.0 refactors: remove ThermalZone::addEquipment, remove BoilerHotWater::designWaterOutletTemperature, etc #3846)
• Chiller:Electric:EIR API related to node need a serious refactor #3606 Chiller:Electric:EIR API related to node need a serious refactor (Chiller:Electric:EIR node API refactor, ChillerAbsorption/ChillerAbsorption tertiary node refactor #3847)
• Realign IDD for CoolingTower:SingleSpeed with E+ IDD #3650 Realign IDD for CoolingTower:SingleSpeed with E+ IDD
• Fix DSOA related methods in ZoneHVACIdealAirLoadsAirSystem to conform to API #3100: Fix DSOA related methods in ZoneHVACIdealAirLoadsAirSystem to conform to API

Enhancement requests that would require breaking API and should be considered for 3.0.0:

• ZoneHVACLowTempRadiantVarFlow shouldn't require a cooling coil #3532: ZoneHVACLowTempRadiantVarFlow shouldn't require a cooling coil

[jmarrec]

• AFN cleanup #3525: AFN cleanup (which includes changed what the Ctors takes as argument, so breaking API)

[jmarrec]

• WaterHeaterHeatPump should be renamed to WaterHeaterHeatPumpPumped like the E+ class. It's confusing. I aways have to check whether WaterHeaterHeatPumpPumped (no) and WaterHeaterHeatPumpWrapped (yes) are implemented to know which it is
  • Prior to E+ 8.4, there as only one class in E+: WaterHeater:HeatPump
• WaterHeaterHeatPump(Pumped) availablity schedule shouldn't be optional but default to always On

[jmarrec]

• Low temperature objects (ZoneHVACLowTempRadiantVarFlow, ZoneHVACLowTempRadiantConstFlow and ZoneHVACLowTemperatureElectric) should probably just default the Radiant Surface Type to "Ceilings" the Ctor and make radiantSurfaceType() return a non optional string instead of relying on IDD default anyways (at least the ZoneHVACLowTempRadiantVarFlow is already NOT providing isRadiantSurfaceDefaulted() but are providing resetRadiantSurfaceType() though).

[jmarrec]

• OpenStudio ClimateZones initialization behavior and .clear behavior are inconsistent #3870 : unique-object OS:ClimateZones should perhaps become OS:ClimateZone, non unique, with potentially CEC/ASHRAE specific getters for the underlying model object if we want to enforce unicity for these two. This is a very low priority item given how much/for what it's actually used

[jmarrec]

• AirLoopHVAC:UnitarySystem. Change name of field DOAS DX Cooling Coil Leaving Minimum Air Temperature to Minimum Supply Air Temperature to match E+

# OpenStudio.idd
  N2,  \field DOAS DX Cooling Coil Leaving Minimum Air Temperature
# EnergyPlus
  N2 , \field Minimum Supply Air Temperature
       \type real
       \units C
       \minimum 0.0
       \maximum 20.0
       \default 2.0
       \autosizable
       \note When Use DOAS DX Cooling Coil is specified as Yes, Minimum Supply Air Temperature
       \note defines the minimum DOAS DX cooling coil leaving air temperature that should
       \note be maintained to avoid frost formation. This field is not autosizable when
       \note the input for Use DOAS DX Cooling Coil = Yes.

@jmarrec 3.0.0 has been released so I'd like to close this issue. If there is anything worth keeping in here can we open new issues for these? Otherwise, let's just close.
