Thank you for clarifying this. Can I calculate the HVAC power consumption based on the heating energy transferred? Wha

Dear all,

In E+ 9.2.0, I'm wondering if I can output the power consumption of a single VAV box in a specific zone? I want to read this value into my python code at each timestep. So it will be great if I can output this value as a variable. I know we can output its power consumption as a subcategory of meter data. But, I assume this kind of meter data cannot be read at each timestep...

Any comments or suggestions will be very much appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Best,

Yapan

Solved. Thank you.

Hi Edwin, Thank you so much for this information. I will definitely check the methods you mentioned. Best, Yapan

Hi, recently I'm working on a project to read and send variables to EnergyPlus simulation. I need my Python algorithm to talk with EnergyPlus at each simulation step. I ended up using pyEp to do this, but I have some problems to configure my EnergyPlus model (Version 9.2.0), Python cannot read variables from E+ when the simulation is running.

Could anyone share some comments or suggestions on this?

Your time are much appreciated.

Thank you so much.
