Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: the condenser fan energy for air-cooled chiller




Add these report variables to your input file (IDF file) to see their 
values:

Chiller Electric Consumption
Tower Fan Electric Consumption

example:
  Report Variable,
    *,                       !- Key_Value
    Chiller Electric Consumption,  !- Variable_Name
    timestep;                !- Reporting_Frequency

  Report Variable,
    *,                       !- Key_Value
    Tower Fan Electric Consumption,  !- Variable_Name
    timestep;                !- Reporting_Frequency

See Report Variables on pg. 926 of the IO Reference Manual for further 
details.

These outputs are already included on the meters Electricity:Plant and 
Cooling:Electricity.

See Report Meter on pg. 928 of the IO Reference Manual for further details.
