Hi Adam,

Thanks for raising this question! From E+ v8.9, the output frequency "Annual" and "RunPeriod" have been given different meanings. They were the same in the versions prior to that.

In jEPlus, the default output frequency is "RunPeriod" when RVI is used, hence it has troubles collecting "Annual" results from v8.9 and 9.0 models. You can either change to output frequency in the IDF to "RunPeriod", e.g.

Output:Meter,Electricity:Facility,RunPeriod;

Or to create a RVX file and specify "Annual" in the RVI object, such as:

my.rvx

{ "rvis" : [ { "fileName" : "my.rvi", "tableName" : "Consumptions", "frequency" : "Annual", "usedInCalc" : true } ] }

More details about the RVX can be found here: http://www.jeplus.org/wiki/doku.php?id=docs:manual_1_7_rvx
