Heating Capacity

– Used for Optimal Start, this is the rate at which the zone temperature

changes when the heating system runs at full capacity to maintain designed occupied heating

setpoint.

D:
R:

5°F/hr
0 to 120°F/hr

Heating Design Temp

– The geographically-based outdoor air temperature at which the heating

system must run constantly to maintain comfort. This information is available in ASHRAE

publications and most design references.

-100 to 150°F

Cooling Capacity

– Used for Optimal Start, this is the rate at which the zone temperature

changes when cooling system runs at full capacity to maintain designed occupied cooling

setpoint.

Cooling Design Temp

system must run constantly to maintain comfort. This information is available in ASHRAE

publications and most design references.

-100 to 150°F

Hysteresis

– The desired difference between the temperature at which the zone color changes

as the zone temperature departs from the acceptable range between the heating and cooling

setpoints (green) into the Cooling 1 (yellow) or Heating 1 (light blue) and the temperature at

which the zone color changes back to the acceptable range between the heating and cooling

setpoints.
For example, the following graph shows the zone color that results as the zone temperature

departs from and returns to the acceptable range in a zone with the following settings:

Color Change Hysteresis = .5° (applies as the temperature returns to the acceptable

range)

Occupied cooling setpoint = 76°
