While applying loads, I am using 90.1 templates' values for my office building model. For example 7.64 W/m2 of floor area is defined for an open office electric equipment. I would like to know what the considered appliances are and what the distribution ratio for example for computers is. Where can I find this detailed information?

2018-01-03 11:43:43 -0500 marked best answer Report variables (solar radiation related) missing from the IDF file

When adding output variables to my results I received a following error statement in the .err file:

"* Warning * The following Report Variables were requested but not generated because IDF did not contain these elements or misspelled variable name -- check .rdd file

*** Key=*, VarName=DIRECT SOLAR RADIATION RATE PER AREA, Frequency=Hourly

*** Key=*, VarName=DIFFUSE SOLAR RADIATION RATE PER AREA, Frequency=Hourly"

The data are needed to verify the proper use and calculation of the direct normal radiation in the modified .epw file (using a local weather station data).

Thank you for the tips David, The updated model had a different name. Originally I left both models in the seeds folder

2017-03-30 12:32:38 -0500 asked a question utility bills in the OS 1.14 GUI

I tried to use the “Utility Bills” subtab in the “Site” main tab and defined the electricity and gas utility bills for 2016 in the OS 1.14 GUI. I expected the comparison of results (actual consumption/cost input vs. simulated (ASHRAE 90.1 templates for loads, occupancy etc.)) to show in the “Results Summary” tab under the Utility Bills/Rates part. The text at the very bottom of http://nrel.github.io/OpenStudio-user... is not very helpful. Is this expectation a mistake? Can I see the comparison elsewhere? Help/comments are much appreciated.
