Energyplus retrieving instantaneous energy consumption

edit

I am working on a reinforcement learning agent for optimizing energy consumption.

What am I trying to do is, to retrieve the information about the energy consumption for each timestep, but I am unsure what is the specific variable that will allow me to get that information.

Is it meter? or is there a variable that I should use?

I am using EnergyPlus python API for this project.

Thanks again.
