Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Cooling Load



You can get sensible, latent and total from output variables.  Possibly you need to turn on your output variable dictionary so that after you run your file all of the dropdown outputs available for your file become available in the output variable or meter section. 

However--- this is not what I recommend for your use----- 

What I do recommend is that you take a look at the file ending with Zsz.csv
This file will give you the minute by minute load shape used in the sizing as well as the peak. It provides both flow rates and sensible cooling capacity and can be used to check both peak and off peak loads for peak shifting strategies. 

Here is an example of a chart plotted from Zsz.csv output for two models (baseline vs proposed) also visible at this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ag7cD5ZV9QwRdFZxS0VmaXlhQ0ZQUzBidDFhdVNkVkE

I´m having some trouble trying to find the cooling load  required to maintain my building at setpoint I scheduled for. I read in the "Input Output Reference" that the output "ideal load cooling rate" is not what I wanted. So I asked the EnergyPlus support and they aswered me I could find the SENSIBLE load at output "Zone/Sys Sensible Cooling Rate". How can I find the LATENT or even the TOTAL (sensible + latent)??
