Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem Outputs



I think one is based on the return node temperature (and is lagged by 1 
time step) and the other is based on the zone temperature. Try comparing 
the zone latent heating rate to the previous value for latent heating rate.
Also plot them to see if they track by 1 time step.
Use the detailed reporting frequency.
