How do i add an output measure to OpenStudio that shows the Monthly Overview Electricity Consumption (kWh) table for each zone in my model?
Hi everyone, I am trying to run some analysis on the electricity consumption broken down into heating, cooling, lights, equipment, etc. for each thermal zone of my model separately. Any help would be much appreciated. I am fairly new to openstudio and energy modelling.
OpenStudio Results will give you plug loads and lighting by load instance, which often is also by zone unless you have multiple instances per zone. HVAC consumption is more complex. What does your system look like. All zone equipment, single zone air loops, multi zone air loops, plant loops etc.
I agree. OpenStudio Results is the best option for what you are asking.
Thank you. Understood for the plug loads and the lights, I have located those on the OpenStudio report. With regards to the heating and cooling, I have used the pre-packaged rooftop VAV system and have one per thermal zone. Is there a way to generate a table output detailing the energy consumption of the HVAC systems, split by heating, cooling, etc. in terms of kWh? It does not need to be split by month if that adds too much complexity, it can be the entire run period.
For context, I am not looking at the design of the HVAC system sizing etc. The purpose of the model is to assess how the facade modifications can influence the energy consumption of the building for heating and cooling.
