Multiple thermostats in HPXML

[Ryan Moore]

OptiMiser does not support specifying multiple thermostat improvements in HPXML. If you need to use HPXML and are installing multiple T-stats, you can modify the HPXML file directly after you export it.

Open the HPXML file in a text editor (like Notepad). Find this block:

<Measure>
          <MeasureSystemIdentifiers>
            <SystemIdentifiersInfo id="HVACControl" />
          </MeasureSystemIdentifiers>
          <MeasureDescription>Install a timed thermostat or increase your temperature setback to save energy.</MeasureDescription>
          <Quantity>
            <Units>Setback thermostats installed</Units>
            <Value>0</Value>

Change the 0 node to represent the quantity you’re installing, like:

<Value>3</Value>

That’s it!
