The majority of test failures are from object differences ("A OS:EnergyManagementSystem:ProgramCallingManager was found only in the before model", "A OS:AvailabilityManager:OptimumStart was found only in the after model") which are expected given this change.

The performance test energy diff failures for SecondarySchool-90.1-2016-ASHRAE 169-2013-4A were investigated. The following differences were found in an annual run:

Energy % Diff Demand % Diff
Heating 5.7 -1.8
Cooling 0.08 -0.18
Fans 3.96 -0.28
Pumps 3.63 1.61
Total Elec 0.71 -0.12
Total Gas 1.4 -1.17

The overall HVAC system runtime increased by 2.4% with the modification, along with a slight drop in unmet cooling hours (250 -> 247). GIven the uncertainty in the modeled Availability Manager inputs for optimum start (as well as the original EMS implementation) I think these diffs are reasonable.
