Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] newbie question

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

Do you have a postprocessor command file <filename>.rvi?  If so, this acts as a 
filter on report variables when the csv output file is generated.  You must add 
"Mean Air Temperature" to the rvi file or just delete it and all variables 
requested in the idf will flow through to the csv output.
