@Mel - here's the code for an EnergyPlus measure that will do what you need. It creates the OutputControl:Table:Style object that allows you to select additional output files and change the units to IP.

I had to give the file a fake extension to post it here, but it should be renamed measure.rb after you download it. Follow these steps to create your own copy of the measure:

1. Create a new measure from the Measures tab in OpenStudio
2. Name the measure in the dialog box - e.g. "Customize Output Tables"
3. Measure Type: EnergyPlus Measure
4. Taxonomy: Reporting, QAQC
5. Create measure and open for editing
6. Open the newly created measure.rb template file and replace the code with the code from the above file OR simply replace the file entirely.
7. Save the measure.rb file and add it to your OSM

Note: using this measure will prevent OpenStudio from displaying the end use bar graph and data after a simulation. From the Results Summary tab select EnergyPlus Results from the Reports menu which should allow you to view the eplustbl.htm file in IP units from within your OSM.

Change Output Format And Units Measure

See the link below for an EnergyPlus Measure I wrote to change the output format and units. It allows one to select the fields for the OutputControl:Table:Style object.

Change Output Format And Units Measure

1. Copy the contents of measure.rb
2. Create a new measure from the Measures tab in OpenStudio
3. Name the measure in the dialog box - e.g. "Change Output File Format And Units"
4. Measure Type: EnergyPlus Measure
5. Taxonomy: Reporting, QAQC
6. Create measure and open for editing
7. Open the newly created measure.rb template file
8. Replace the template code with the code from the file above or simply replace the measure.rb file entirely.
9. Save the measure.rb file and add it to your OSM as an always run EnergyPlus measure

After a simulation the results in IP units will be available from Results Summary > Reports > EnergyPlus Results. The output files in IP units will be available from osm directory > run > EnergyPlus-0.

Note: Using this measure will prevent OpenStudio from displaying the end use bar graph and data after a simulation (Issue #283).

See the link below for an EnergyPlus Measure I wrote to change the output format and units. It allows one to select the fields for the OutputControl:Table:Style object.
