Output Variable associated with ZoneHVAC:Baseboard:Convective:Electric not working
Hi,
I am trying to setup a Baseboard Heater in EnergyPlus using the code as follows:
ZoneHVAC:Baseboard:Convective:Electric,
Zone A BASEBOARD, !- Name
Zone A Heating Availability Sch, !- Availability Schedule Name
HeatingDesignCapacity, !- Heating Design Capacity Method
5000, !- Heating Design Capacity {W}
, !- Heating Design Capacity Per Floor Area {W/m2}
, !- Fraction of Autosized Heating Design Capacity
0.97; !- Efficiency
There are many outputs available for this class and I am interested in the output HVAC,Sum,Baseboard Electric Energy [J]
. I checked my RDD file and it is available.
But, whenever I try to request this output, I get the following error:
The following Report Variables were requested but not generated -- check.rdd file
** ~~~ ** Either the IDF did not contain these elements, the variable name is misspelled,
I checked everything but EPlus is still throwing that error. Please help to fix this.
Thank you for your time..
Can you post the actual IDF snippet for your Output:Variable? I bet that's the issue.
Hi @Julien
My Output code is as follows.
Output:Variable, Zone A, !- Key Value Baseboard Electric Energy, !- Variable Name Timestep; !- Reporting Frequency
Yeah so the the Key has to be the object's name, not the Zone it's in.
