Hi,

I want to determine the overall cooling and heating load in my EnergyPlus model, without designing the actual HVAC system - this will serve as my baseline model which the results of which I can compare with "advanced" (modified) EnergyPlus model.

The only way I came across to do this is via defining an object in EnergyPlus called ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem.

Further, the Output:Variables which can help to estimate this are:

1. Zone Ideal Loads Zone Total Heating Rate
2. Zone Ideal Loads Zone Total Cooling Rate
3. Zone Air System Sensible Heating Rate
4. Zone Air System Sensible Cooling Rate

Can anyone from the community help me in understanding how can I achieve this? - any sort of guidance will be welcomed and appreciated.

Apologies, if the question is not clear enough.

Thank you!
