I have tried fixing some of the inputs to the measures, but the error persists. Image of error below.
I am trying to report Electricity:HVAC or anything that resembles HVAC demand for both cooling and heating.
The measure crashes here, as it's trying to access an uninitialized variable. The measure does however log 2 prior messages that are relevant here: one error (in dark red in the screenshot), one warning (pinkish). Both messages are reporting that the measure is unable to locate the meter "Electricity:HVAC". Double-check the OSM?
Should the measure crash this way? IMHO, no: it should have returned false (right after logging the first error message), forcing the measure to safely exit without crashing. I would label this as a minor frontend bug, but it doesn't change the fact that the measure remains unable to locate the requested meter. There are safer ways around this, such as offering users a drop-down list of available meters actually found in the OSM file, but that's another topic.
How do I add a meter object in the openstudio application?
I fixed my issue by applying the Add Meter measure first running the simulation then adding the ExportMetertoCSV measure. It worked this way which is weird. I have the meters that I want reporting out.
