Hi, I am trying to control data center IT equipment using EMS in EnergyPlus. When I try to get the temperature of air at the server Inlet, Ta_in and the server power dissipation, Qs_dot, I get an error that unique key name for these output variables are not found. Here is what I am currently using:

EnergyManagementSystem:Sensor, Tain, !- Name Zone Equipment Inlet Node , !- Output:Variable or Output:Meter Index Key Name ITE Air Inlet Dry-Bulb Temperature; !- Output:Variable or Output:Meter Name

EnergyManagementSystem:Sensor, Q_dot_s, !- Name Whole Building, !- Output:Variable or Output:Meter Index Key Name ITE Total Heat Gain to Zone Rate; !- Output:Variable or Output:Meter Name

The errors that I get are: * ~~~ * Severe * Invalid Output:Variable or Output:Meter Index Key Name =ZONE EQUIPMENT INLET NODE * ~~~ * For Output:Variable or Output:Meter = ITE AIR INLET DRY-BULB TEMPERATURE * ~~~ * Entered in EnergyManagementSystem:Sensor=TAIN * ~~~ * Unique Key Name not found. * Severe * Invalid Output:Variable or Output:Meter Index Key Name =WHOLE BUILDING * ~~~ * For Output:Variable or Output:Meter = ITE TOTAL HEAT GAIN TO ZONE RATE * ~~~ * Entered in EnergyManagementSystem:Sensor=Q_DOT_S * ~~~ ** Unique Key Name not found.

Can someone please help me identify what the unique key name should be for these. I have tried a bunch of combinations but none seem to work.

Thanks in advance.
