1ZoneDataCenterCRAC_wPumpedDXCoolingCoil.idf and 2ZoneDataCenterHVAC_wEconomizer.idf provide a good starting point in this case and they have EMS code which use whole building output variable for EMS sensor. For temperature sensor, instead of "ITE Air Inlet Dry-Bulb Temperature", " System Node Temperature" should be used as follows.
EnergyManagementSystem:Sensor,
Tain, !- Name
Zone Equipment Inlet Node , !- Output:Variable or Output:Meter Index Key Name
System Node Temperature; !- Output:Variable or Output:Meter Name
Whole building summary output variables which can be used are described in IO reference. "ITE Total Heat Gain to Zone Rate" is not a valid output variable which can be used here.
