While working with the standard EnergyPlus model Small Office, I noticed the lack of outputs of the heat pump model that is used in this building. Only these three:
- HVAC, Average, Unitary System Fan Part Load Ratio []
- HVAC, Average, Unitary System Compressor Part Load Ratio []
- HVAC, Average, Unitary System Dehumidification Induced Heating Demand Rate [W]
I am curious if there is a particular reason for that. I don't see why it doesn't have basic outputs like thermal and electric power.
And related to that, a second question: Is there a straight-forward way to export the thermal and electric power or is the easiest option to replace it with something like the AirToAir:MultiSpeed model, which has more outputs available?
