Hello,
I am running sensitivity analysis of the different DOE office reference buildings (in EnergyPlus). In this analysis, I would like to compare the end-use electricity demand when the maximum electricity cooling demand end-use occurs. I want to save the minimum amount of data for each simulation; thus, I would like to avoid storing variables for each timestamp. Do you recommend to create my Output:Table:Monthly object, with cooling maximum and the remaining end uses with the advanced aggregation type option: ValueWhenMaximumOrMinimum?
Would you rather use one of the following Predefined Monthly Summary Reports:
- ElectricComponentsOfPeakDemandMonthly;
- PeakEnergyEndUseElectricityPart1Monthly;
- PeakEnergyEndUseElectricityPart2Monthly
Additionally, I would like to aggregate the daily consumption for the day of the Peak cooling demand. How could I generate this aggregation?
The Advanced Aggregation Types mention that you can aggregate monthly based on “DuringHoursShown”, parameter. Is there the possibility to look at a specific day of the year? Or I would need to check the variable on daily base output file?
Best Regards, Vasco Zeferina
