The electric heating coil is a simple capacity model with a user-defined efficiency. In most cases, the efficiency for the electric coil will be 100%. Depending on where it is used this coil may be either temperature or capacity controlled. If used in the air loop simulation it will be controlled to a specified temperature scheduled from the Setpoint Manager. If it is used in zone equipment, it will be controlled from the zone thermostat by meeting the zone demand.
A unique auto-generated name for the coil.
The type is fixed as:
In Generic AHUs and ADUs it will also be possible to select 1-Hot water or 3-Fuel as the heating coil type, in which case a Water heating coil or Fuel heating coil is used instead.
This is user-inputted efficiency (fraction, not percent) and can account for any loss. In most cases for the electric coil, this will be 100% (enter a value of 1).
This is the maximum capacity of the coil (in W). This controlled coil will only provide the needed capacity to meet the control criteria whether it is temperature or capacity controlled. This field is autosizable.
The schedule that denotes whether the heating coil can run during a given time period. A schedule value greater than 0 (usually 1 is used) indicates that the coil can be on during a given time period. A value less than or equal to 0 (usually 0 is used) denotes that the coil must be off.

Heating Coil Energy is the total amount of heat transfer taking place in the coil at the operating conditions.
Heating Coil Rate is the Rate of heat transfer taking place in the coil at the operating conditions. The units are (J/sec) or Watts.
Heating Coil electric consumption after the efficiency of the coil has been taken into account in Joules for the timestep reported.
This field is the average Heating Coil electric power after the efficiency of the coil has been taken into account in Watts for the timestep reported.
