2016-12-12 18:59:07 -0500 | commented answer | Energy cost Output variable Thanks again. This is exactly what I was looking for. I've finally been able to extract the energycost from the .rvx file which seemed to not be recognized by the software at first hand. Had to restart, and it worked just fine, after fixing a missing commas! For reference for future use, I am still attaching below the .rvx file. Olivier |
2016-12-12 12:27:34 -0500 | commented answer | Energy cost Output variable I have peak, mid and off peak utility electricity rates on top of demand charge. The easy way would be to apply the mid-peak utility charges to the overall energy use as a post process in a spreadsheet, but this is a very quick shortcut. The request to have real time cost looks very very helpful...Do you know if the next version of E+ will have this request embedded? Thanks for redirecting me to this. Thanks, Olivier. |
2016-12-12 12:27:28 -0500 | commented answer | Energy cost Output variable Hi Jason, Thanks for the feedback. I indeed went through the monthly report after setting up the UtilityCost:Tariff object and this is a useful report to read demand and utility charges when playing just with few runs. I guess a cell mapping function can do it easily to report the cells value to a master spreadsheet. When it comes to run parametric analysis with JePlus, the only way I found to report results was through the variable:output object, and unfortunately I don't know how to report the cost variable. Do you have any turnaround tips by any chance? |

2016-12-09 16:01:17 -0500 | asked a question | Energy cost Output variable Hi All, Once the objects below have been integrated in Energy Plus, the output table "EAp2-7. Energy Cost Summary" reports the runperiod Energy Cost summary for the fuel types used (in my case, electricity and gas). I used some schedules with Peak, Offpeak and Midpeak period including demand charges periods. UtilityCost:Tariff, UtilityCost:Charge:Simple, Is it possible to have an ouput variable reporting the total energy cost ? and also on a monthly basis? I couldn't find it in the .rdd and .mdd outputs. Thanks all Olivier. |
2016-11-10 11:26:17 -0500 | commented question | Monthly Building Sensible Heat Gain Components Hi Amir, Thanks for picking this up! Will do next time. Hopefully will get some answer back from the question above as it requires quite a bit of post production to report manually all the zones as variables and then to sum the values up in Excel filtering through all the zones. |

2016-11-04 21:14:28 -0500 | asked a question | Monthly Building Sensible Heat Gain Components Hi everyone, E+ reports give "Annual Building Sensible Heat Gain Components" for the Entire Facility under the Sensible Heat Gain Summary, which seems to be default when the "Output:Table:Summary Reports" object figure in the object list. Among other, the default variables for the entire facility are:
I am looking for a Monthly one. Does anyone know to get such report? Many thanks all Olivier. |
