Hello. I want to plot the hourly Zone Infiltration Mass Flow Rate of the building in energy plus but as I have 27 zones and in the output: variable I cannot define the whole building in the key value, it gives me the result for each zone separately. How can I see the hourly Zone Infiltration Mass Flow Rate for all zones?
You can use a Meter:Custom object to accomplish this. In particular, the EnergyPlus documentation has an example of calculating building-level Infiltration Heat Loss & Heat Gain by summing zone-level output variables:
Meter:Custom,
Building Infiltration Heat Loss, !- Name
Generic, !- Resource Type
*, !- Key Name 1
Zone Infiltration Total Heat Loss Energy; !- Output Variable Name 1
Meter:Custom,
Building Infiltration Heat Gain, !- Name
Generic, !- Resource Type
*, !- Key Name 1
Zone Infiltration Total Heat Gain Energy; !- Output Variable Name 1
You can then request hourly output for the custom meter.
