HVAC Sketches Created in Batch

The common object !!hvaSketch can be used in a macro to be run as a batch job:

-- initialize variables

   !allSpools = ARRAY()

  !element = /myZone

-- Array of spools to process

 var !allSpools collect all HSPOOL for $!element

 !numberOfSpools = !allSpools.size()
