Unmet Hours

Meter:Custom combines specific output:variables and meters into a new meter. Consult the mtd output file to find all of the metered output variables coming from the HVAC equipment (look towards the bottom of the mtd output file for the Electricity:HVAC and Electricity:Plant (and Gas . . .) meters and see what's connected to them. For example, from the 5ZoneAirCooled EnergyPlus example file: For Meter=Electricity:Plant [J], ResourceType=Electricity, Group=Plant, contents are: CENTRAL BOILER:Boiler Ancillary Electric Energy CENTRAL CHILLER:Chiller Electric Energy HW CIRC PUMP:Pump Electric Energy CW CIRC PUMP:Pump Electric Energy Then specify the desired output:variables from these lists on the desired custom meters. And then use the custom meters in the utility rate tariffs.
