thank you, that worked

How does EnergyPlus decide the cooling air service schedule? Given a temperature set-point for a zone, does it try to optimize the performance of the entire building system to meet the demands? How much priority is given to different equipments in the building? How much priority is given to the user demands over the overall performance?

I am new to EnergyPlus.

I have created a simple building with 6 zones in SketchUp using the OpenStudio plugin. I have also setup an ACMV system in OpenStudio and run simulations successfully.

Next, I would like to define actuator variables using EnergyPlus IDF editor through EP-Launch for which I need to access EDD file. However, after running simulation successfully through EP-Launch, Edd file is not produced. All fields in Output:EnergyManagementSystem are set to Verbose.

The .err file contains the following:

Warning ** CheckIFAnyEMS: No EnergyManagementSystem has been set up in the input file but output is requested.
   **   ~~~   ** No EDD file will be produced. Refer to EMS Application Guide and/or InputOutput Reference to set up your EnergyManagementSystem.

Thanks in advance. Niki
