I am trying to get hourly data for one year of cooling/heating loads from Energyplus simulation. What variables and frequency I need to get these exactly for 8760 hours with timestamp. The variable definitions do not detailed enough for my understanding. The other output I am looking for is the energy use by the outdoor unit for each zone (aggregate of multi-zone AHU).
I am bit lost with so many output variables for zone but few for hvac system .
I understand that I need to get these Cooling/heating aggregated Output:Variable,,VRF Heat Pump Terminal Unit Cooling Load Rate,hourly; !- HVAC Average [W] Output:Variable,,VRF Heat Pump Terminal Unit Heating Load Rate,hourly; !- HVAC Average [W] for Energy used Output:Variable,,VRF Heat Pump Heating Electric Energy,hourly; !- HVAC Sum [J] Output:Variable,,VRF Heat Pump Cooling Electric Energy,hourly; !- HVAC Sum [J]
Will these include all the energy used for the system like, compressor, condenser fan.
What variables are for the energy use by indoor AHU's
