2016-04-09 01:05:25 -0500 commented answer how to build a photovoltaic system in energyplus

thank you for the answer, I did run the simulation first and add the output variables, but it is still not working. I think there's something wrong with my model, I copy the section from an example and simplified it. I don't know if something is missing to build a functional system.

2016-03-04 09:27:30 -0500 asked a question How can I output the latent heating/cooling of zones in EnergyPlus(OpenStudio)

I want to get the hourly values of latent heating and cooling energy for zone air system, which are not included in the default output variables in OpenStudio. I want to use the measures from BCL, 2 OpenStudio Measures are available. https://unmethours.com/question/8132/... But I have problem with variable name. I searched the reference book with "latent heating", and find out that ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem maybe the right one, but I get nothing if I use the "ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem" as the variable name.
