PAT 2.9.1 Output Variables and Results

Question 1 - Output/Results - In an attempt to get the peak cooling and heating load, which aren't readily available in OpenStudio Results measure under the Output tab, I added additional variables from e+ .rdd file "zone list sensible cooling rate" and "zone list sensible cooling rate" with the frequency set at "runperiod". - I used "AddOutputVariable". In the output tab, I don't see the variable in "select outputs" after adding the "AddOutputVariable" measure. So I manually entered the variable name and don't know if PAT really recognizes it or not. - These are hourly variables but I was testing if it can give me one peak value of the entire runperiod of 8760hrs - Also, how do I add outputs in "OpenStudio Results"? Simply copy-pasting the variable name from .rdd didn't work

Question 2 - Run/model files for all alternatives -Is there a way to download all the generated zip files for alternatives from the OpenStudio Console on AWS at the same time. Or do I have to download them one by one?

Thanks in advance!

PAT 2.9.1 Output Variables and Results

Question 1 - Output/Results -

  • In an attempt to get the peak cooling and heating load, which aren't readily available in OpenStudio Results measure under the Output tab, I added additional variables from e+ .rdd file "zone list sensible cooling rate" and "zone list sensible cooling rate" with the frequency set at "runperiod". - "runperiod".
  • I used "AddOutputVariable". In the output tab, I don't see the variable in "select outputs" after adding the "AddOutputVariable" measure. So I manually entered the variable name and don't know if PAT really recognizes it or not. - not.
  • These are hourly variables but I was testing if it can give me one peak value of the entire runperiod of 8760hrs - 8760hrs
  • Also, how do I add outputs in "OpenStudio Results"? Simply copy-pasting the variable name from .rdd didn't work

Question 2 - Run/model files for all alternatives -Is

  • Is there a way to download all the the generated zip files for alternatives alternatives from the OpenStudio Console on AWS at at the same time. Or do I have to to download them one by one?

Thanks in advance!
