Hello,

I want to get the OpenStudio output variable values for 8,760 hours in CSV format. I know a couple of discussions have already taken place on this topic. Based on the discussions, the best option seemed to be to run the out.idf file in the EnergyPlusPreProcess directory created by OS using EP-Launch. when I tried that, EP-Launch ran the simulation (4 min 20 sec) and created a couple of CSV files (outSsz and outZsz), but the "Cooling Tower Fan Cycling Ratio,hourly" variable I wanted did not show up in the files, and the eplusout.csv. The variable DID show up in the out.eso file. I also got the following error: "C:\EnergyPlusV8-4-0\PostProcess\ReadVarsESO.exe is not a valid Win32 application". I have no idea what the error means. I suspect I am not getting the output variable due to this error.

Help is appreciated!!
