Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] building level reporting
I don't think the meters allow power (W) as an input, only energy (J).
Look at using the Output:Table:Monthly object where you can specify that
any report variable be used and the maximum attribute can be applied:
Output:Table:Monthly,
MyPowerReport, !- Name
2, !- Digits After Decimal
Zone Transmitted Solar, !- Variable or Meter 1 Name
Maximum; !- Aggregation Type for Variable or Meter 1
