After running your simulation, several output results are provided. Of these are the report data dictionary (rdd) and meter definition file (mtd).
If you look at the rdd file, you will see all available reports for your simulation. Add Output:VariableDictionary, IDF; to your input file and the format in the idd allows cut-n-paste directly to your input file.
Output:Variable,*,Heating Coil Total Heating Energy,hourly;
Output:Variable,*,Heating Coil Total Heating Rate,hourly;
Output:Variable,*,Baseboard Total Heating Energy,hourly;
Output:Variable,*,Baseboard Total Heating Rate,hourly;
If you look at the mtd file you will see which components are connected to which meter. For example,
Meters for 613,ZONE1BASEBOARD:Baseboard Total Heating Energy [J]
OnMeter=EnergyTransfer:Facility [J]
OnMeter=EnergyTransfer:HVAC [J]
OnMeter=Baseboard:EnergyTransfer [J]
or
For Meter=Baseboard:EnergyTransfer [J], ResourceType=EnergyTransfer, EndUse=Baseboard, contents are:
ZONE1BASEBOARD:Baseboard Total Heating Energy
ZONE2BASEBOARD:Baseboard Total Heating Energy
ZONE3BASEBOARD:Baseboard Total Heating Energy
For Meter=Electricity:HVAC [J], ResourceType=Electricity, Group=HVAC, contents are:
ZONE1BASEBOARD:Baseboard Electricity Energy
ZONE2BASEBOARD:Baseboard Electricity Energy
ZONE3BASEBOARD:Baseboard Electricity Energy
SUPPLY FAN 1:Fan Electricity Energy
