I need to gather hourly data of building (not by thermal zone or space) energy (kWh and terms) and demand (kW) by end-use (i.e. lighting, heating, cooling, fans, etc). I see that the .mdd file (as well as an Add Hourly Meters measure on the BCL) allows us to gather hourly data in J (which is find I can post-process) for energy use (kWH and therm) by demand for building end uses, but I don't see an option to add end-use demand meters. Does anyone know of another way/trick to produce meters or variables that report whole building demand by end-use, preferably within OpenStudio and not running the IDF in energyplus?
I know I can add output variables for end-use demand (kW) but the hourly data is output per thermal zone and I have some large models with many thermal zones and would prefer not to post-process to this extent or be required to run energyplus.
