2023-05-24 17:08:20 -0500 marked best answer E+ API, changing System Node Temperature Setpoint, doesn't change energy meter?

Hey, I'm currently using python E+ API for creating a reinforcement learning agent.

The problem is the agent is altering the actuator which I have set as

            "sat_spt": (
            "System Node Setpoint",
            "Temperature Setpoint",
            "zone inlet node_unit1"
        ),

and I am keeping track of the electric consumption for HVAC:

        self.meters = {
        # HVAC elec (J)
        "elec": "Electricity:HVAC",
    }

I tried having the Setpoint Temperature to set values like 15 degrees, and 30 degrees for the other simulation, but when I sum up the Electrcity:HVAC value for each simulation with different setpoint temperature value, the energy consumption value come out to be the same.

I'm not sure why this is the case.

2023-05-23 13:55:47 -0500 marked best answer EnergyPlus Python API, actuate a handle for each timestep

Hello, I'm working on creating an RL agent that utilizes the EnergyPlus Python API.

I want to make a decision of the set temperature of the building for every timestep.

I was wondering, which callback function should I be using for my purpose?

Thanks

2023-05-23 13:55:37 -0500 marked best answer Energyplus retrieving instantaneous energy consumption

I am working on a reinforcement learning agent for optimizing energy consumption.

What am I trying to do is, to retrieve the information about the energy consumption for each timestep, but I am unsure what is the specific variable that will allow me to get that information.

Is it meter? or is there a variable that I should use?

I am using EnergyPlus python API for this project.

Thanks again.
