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.
