[EnergyPlus_Support] newbie question

["masterharper7172" <munns@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

Apologies in advance for what I hope is a simple question...

I am using EnergyPlus 1.2.1 on a simple single-zone building.  No 
ventilation or anything (yet).  The variable dictionary .rdd file 
lists:
Zone,Average,Mean Air Temperature[C]
Zone,Average,Mean Radiant Temperature[C]

If I add Mean Radiant Temperature to my report variables, it shows up 
in my output just fine.  However, no matter how many times I try to 
get Mean Air Temperature (with different capitalization, etc.), it 
won't show up in the output!

Here is the relevant part of my .idf file:
Report Variable,
    *,                       !- Key_Value
    Mean Air Temperature,    !- Variable_Name
    hourly;                  !- Reporting_Frequency

If anyone can explain why I'm not getting this, I would really 
appreciate it.

I'm assuming if Mean Air Temperature would actually report, it would 
be the temperature of my zone.  How does it differ from Mean Radiant 
Temperature?

Thanks a bunch,
Scott
