RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: ConvertESOMTR
Merid,
You don't need to change the "conv" line since there is
already a "conv" line to do Watts into kBtuh (an
abbreviation for kBtu/hr).
I would guess that the variable you want to convert
contains the string "elec" which means that the "wild" near
the bottom of the file is being triggered and is trying to
convert W->kW and then when it does not find one (because
you commented it out) it does no conversion. If you comment
out the "wild" line (with an !) that should work.
You may also want to move the W->kW line below the W->kBtuh
line since the first line for an SI unit is used as the
default.
I hope this helps.
