About Instances of HVAC Objects

A unique type of instance exists for every type of HVAC reference. This instance specialization allows you to define a specific set of attributes or text templates for every type.

Warning: Specific behavior on specialized instances cannot be applied to nonspecialized instances from previous versions (for example, text template on Logical Damper Instance cannot be applied on a Logical Instance.)
