Thanks for the help. Input/output reference is now understood.

I am already using the Tree View. But how do I get the data points for external processing. Looked through all the output files and didn't find the hourly data I need. Any export features somewhere?

Thank you for your help. As guided, I generated some variables taken from the rdd files and displayed them through the "Result Viewer".

There are so many variables. I understand some but not all. Where can I find explanations of each of these variables?

Specifically, I am looking for zonal cooling load, consisting of the sum of envelope heat, internal heat, people, equipment, lights, infiltration and fesh air heat loss.

Also, how do I dump the output to external files, ascii or excel? Result Viewer seems to generate plots.

Hi

I have just started learning how to use OS ver 1.9 today.

I need to create a table of hourly cooling load for export to Excel for each thermal zone for the design day. I have tried using several measures like "Add Meter" and "Add Variable". But I am not able to understand how to complete the job (if it at all is possible with these measures).

Would appreciate any help.
