BC Energy Step Code Performance Indicators

The bc_energy_step_code_performance_indicators method in btap_data.rb (see /lib/openstudio-standards/standards/necb/common/btap_data.rb) calculates TEDI and MEUI as per BC Energy Step Code. Refer to the below reference for the TEDI and MEUI definitions: * BC Energy Step CodeHandbook for Building Officials: Part 9 Residential Buildings (2019).

Assumptions

The below assumption has been made: * For the calculation of TEDI, it has been assumed that baseboards and heating coils are the only heating terminals in a building model’s thermal zones as this is the case for the current BTAP archetypes.
