Overview

Haystack 3 defined a total of 230 tags. Of these, 180 remain unchanged. The others have been modified as follows.

These are renamed or turned into conjuncts:

• ahuRef => airRef
• airCooled => airCooling
• chilledWaterCool => chilledWaterCooling
• chilledWaterPlant => chilled-water-plant
• chilledWaterPlantRef => chilledWaterRef
• closedLoop => condenserClosedLoop
• co => co concentration
• co2 => co2 concentration
• constantVolume => constantAirVolume
• coolOnly => coolingOnly
• dew => dewPoint
• dxCool => dxCooling
• elecHeat => elecHeating
• elecMeterLoad => elecRef
• elecMeterRef => elecRef
• elecPanel => elec-panel
• elecPanelOf => elecRef
• elecReheat => reheat elecHeating
• gasHeat => naturalGasHeating
• gasMeterLoad => naturalGasRef
• hisInterpolate => hisMode
• hotWaterHeat => hotWaterHeating
• hotWaterPlant => hot-water-plant
• hotWaterPlantRef => hotWaterRef
• hotWaterReheat => hotWaterHeating
• lights => light-level
• lightLevel => illuminance
• lightsGroup => lighting-zone-space or luminaire
• mag => magnitude
• max => maxVal
• min => minVal
• occupancyIndicator => occupancy
• oil => fuelOil
• openLoop => condenserOpenLoop
• rooftop => rtu
• screw => rotaryScrew
• sitePanel => elecRef
• steamHeat => steamHeating
• steamMeterLoad => steamRef
• steamPlant => steam-plant
• steamPlantRef => steamRef
• subPanelOf => elecRef
• sunrise => daytime
• uv => unitVent
• variableVolume => variableAirVolume
• vavMode => hvacMode
• waterCooled => waterCooling
• waterMeterLoad => xxxWaterRef such as chilledWaterRef
• weather => see weather
• weatherRef => see weather
• weatherPoint => see weather

These tags are not ported:

• connection => see networks
• device1Ref => see networks
• device2Ref => see networks
• reheating => was only used by one VAV max flow sp

Weather

In Haystack 3, weather stations were modeled via the weather tag, and their points were modeled via the weatherPoint tag. In Haystack 4, we use the weather marker on the points as the pointSubject. And stations are modeled via the weatherStation tag. Likewise, the weatherRef tag is now renamed to weatherStationRef.

Weather points are mapped from Haystack 3 to Haystack 4 as follows:

Haystack 3            Haystack 4             Notes
-------------------   --------------------   ------------------------

wetBulb temp          air wetBulb            pair with air not temp
apparent temp         air feelsLike          renamed, pair with air not temp

wind speed            wind speed             same
visibility            visibility             same

Lighting

Most tags related to lighting have not been included pending the work under WG 705

Networks

Haystack 3 included a prototype for modeling networks, devices, and connections between them. It was never implemented by any vendors and was not complete, so it has not been ported to Haystack 4. However, some of the core concepts are found in the phIct library including:

• network
• device
• protocol

Symbols

Symbol is added as a new scalar type in Haystack 4. In Zinc, it is represented as ^name and in JSON with the "y:" prefix. The format version was left as "3.0" to minimize ecosystem disruption since symbols are only used with defs and unlikely to occur in normal Haystack data.
