[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Have a question for the output: Meter

["Ke Xu" <xukevin24@xxxxxxxxx>]

I put "Output:Variable, 12796,AHU-1-4TH FLOOR AHU SUPPLY FAN:Fan Electric Consumption, hourly;" in the output variable section in my .idf, but I still got the following warning messages:

** Warning ** The following Report Variables were requested but not generated
   **   ~~~   ** because IDF did not contain these elements or misspelled variable name -- check .rdd file
   ************* Key=12796, VarName=AHU-1-4TH FLOOR AHU SUPPLY FAN:FAN ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION, Frequency=Hourly

The .rdd file doesn't include the AHU-1 supply fan electricity consumption as an output variable, but .mtd file has it included.

Thanks again.
