Revision history [back]

I took a look at the files you posted and found your source of confusion. You are currently reporting outputs for the "Electricity:Building" and "Gas:Building" meters, which indeed do not change between the two files. You probably want to be using the "Electricity:Facility" and "Gas:Facility" meters instead, as these meters include HVAC energy consumption. I switched to these meters in your IDF files and the results changed. If you open up the *.mtd file after running a simulation, you can see what outputs are included in these two meters.

For example, here are the outputs included in "Electricity:Building":

 For Meter=Electricity:Building [J], ResourceType=Electricity, Group=Building, contents are:
  LIVING HARDWIRED LIGHTING1:Lights Electric Energy
  LIVING PLUG-IN LIGHTING1:Lights Electric Energy
  DISHWASHER1:Electric Equipment Electric Energy
  REFRIGERATOR1:Electric Equipment Electric Energy
  CLOTHESWASHER1:Electric Equipment Electric Energy
  GAS_DRYER1:Electric Equipment Electric Energy
  GAS_RANGE1:Electric Equipment Electric Energy
  TELEVISION1:Electric Equipment Electric Energy
  GAS_MELS1:Electric Equipment Electric Energy
  IECC_ADJ1:Electric Equipment Electric Energy
  LIVING_UNIT1:Zone Ventilation Fan Electric Energy

and here are the outputs included in "Electricity:Facility":

 For Meter=Electricity:Facility [J], ResourceType=Electricity, contents are:
  LIVING HARDWIRED LIGHTING1:Lights Electric Energy
  LIVING PLUG-IN LIGHTING1:Lights Electric Energy
  DISHWASHER1:Electric Equipment Electric Energy
  REFRIGERATOR1:Electric Equipment Electric Energy
  CLOTHESWASHER1:Electric Equipment Electric Energy
  GAS_DRYER1:Electric Equipment Electric Energy
  GAS_RANGE1:Electric Equipment Electric Energy
  TELEVISION1:Electric Equipment Electric Energy
  GAS_MELS1:Electric Equipment Electric Energy
  IECC_ADJ1:Electric Equipment Electric Energy
  LIVING_UNIT1:Zone Ventilation Fan Electric Energy
  EXTERIOR-LIGHTS_UNIT1:Exterior Lights Electric Energy
  GARAGE-LIGHTS_UNIT1:Exterior Lights Electric Energy
  SUPPLY FAN_UNIT1:Fan Electric Energy
  MAIN FUEL HEATING COIL_UNIT1:Heating Coil Electric Energy
  DX COOLING COIL_UNIT1:Cooling Coil Electric Energy
  MAINS PRESSURE_UNIT1:Pump Electric Energy
  DX COOLING COIL_UNIT1:Cooling Coil Crankcase Heater Electric Energy

(Note the HVAC outputs above.)
