Please check the edit, what you suggested was already present, but still i am not able to run the simulation for 365 day

2019-08-01 01:45:37 -0500 marked best answer How to control EnergyPlus parameters for each timestep using Python?

I am trying to control the EnergyPlus simulation parameters for 2 Zone HVAC Data Center using Python. I want to get the output (like PUE, DEC temperature) after each timestep, calculate the input for the next timestep, and provide the input for the next simulation timestep.

I have tried using eppy package, but, it can only change the parameters after running the entire simulation.

What is the significance of the error,I have used 2ZoneHVACDatacenter idf file. How do i solve this problem ?
