You can also use the Building Controls Virtual Test Bed (BCVTB) to link-in real time sensor data from BACnet compliant BAS. Similar to Aaron's answer, you'll need to use EMS objects in EnergyPlus to override normal EnergyPlus behavior. But BCVTB gives the ability to pull-in real time data instead of referencing a static Schedule:File.
Although, be warned that BCVTB hasn't been updated since April 2016. It's been a while since I tried using it and I'm not sure how well it works anymore. Also, it is compatible with EnergyPlus 8.5.
