Does anybody have any examples of how to use the Python API of EnergyPlus to get the value of a meter? I cannot figure out how to do it by just reading the documentation.

You can use get_meter_handle and get_meter_value. They work exactly like get_variable_handle and get_variable_value.

I have a short example here: https://github.com/jmarrec/OpenStudio... (jump to "Use a class instead of globals"), but E+ also ships with multiple examples in the ExampleFiles folder (they all start with PythonPlugin)
