Currently we support Exterior Lights but not other Exterior equipment. There are a few options for now.

  1. First is just to model as lights, which you did, but that will report as exterior lighting as you found out
  2. You could make a dummy zone that isn't included in the building area and sits somewhere away from your main building, and add there as an internal load.
  3. The third option is to add an EnergyPlus measure to your workflow to add an Exterior:FuelEquipment object to your model.
