I am now working on the Eppy scripts to run EnergyPlus building simulation and do system sizing. I have a few questions about zone load results and eppy scripts:
I used the "Ideal Air Loads" to calculate the zone load first, and later, I am going to use the load values to pick up the right HVAC system devices and run the energy simulation. Now after running the "Ideal Air Loads" model, there's an "HVAC sizing summary" in HTML summary report which shows the load results for each thermal zone, and I tried to generate the "Zone Component Load Summary" as well to see the details about load breakdown and choose the right peak load number. But I found the eppy scripts didn't work well to generate the "Zone Component Load Summary" in html report while the EP-Launch made it successfully (They are running the same IDF file). I used to come to some similar situation without setting "run expanded objects" to "True" in Eppy run function, is there any parameter here to generating "Zone Component Load Summary" report as well when running simulation with Eppy? Following are screen shot for report tables run with Eppy and with EP-Launch, the latter one has contained the "Zone Component Load Summary" part for thermalzone "01_C1".
