[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: How to schedule IdealLoadsAirSystem?

["wasilqayyum" <wasilqayyum@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks a lot people! Its worked!

Just one last thing regarding this. After I've run the simulation, I am just summing up all the values for "Zone Sys/ Sensible Cooling Rate (W)". 

Will simply doing this give me the total energy requirements for cooling for the building? and although the unit is "W", is it technically "Wh" as I'm summing up for each hour?

Thanks.
