Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] building level reporting
I am not very familiar with the reporting choices for zone gains/losses.
The choices you have are listed in the rdd file. This question might
better be answered by the developers of the table reports. Send the
question to energyplus-support@xxxxxxxx and see if you get a better
response. This is a back door email address which is attached to the E+
help desk at http://energyplus.helpserve.com
