RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Identifying the cooling energy use of individual zones

Thanks,

I have been trying this but the only meters available which are not overall total building cooling are "Cooling:EnergyTransfer:Zone:" or "coolingcoils:energytransfer" and energy transfer doesn't correlate with electricity used.

If either of you or anyone else has any other ideas, or can tell me what exactly "energy transfer" is reporting, I would very much appreciated it.

Thanks for the help so far

Annie

p.s., These names changed dramatically in v8 (and I used the v8 names)

Annie,

It seems that Custom meters is the solution. Have you tried variables like ?Chiller Electric Power?? ?Pump Electric power??

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Identifying the cooling energy use of individual zones

Dear All,

I am stuck at the moment. I have to model 3 different building on one plant loop and identify the energy use of each building. I can identify the loads using custom meters but I can't seem to identify the cooling and heating energy used in each building. The only meter I can find, reports cooling energy transfer which doesn't match the actual cooling energy used by the building. I can't find any output to identify the cooling energy use assigned to each zone in the meters outputs. Is this possible?

All help is always greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much in advance

Annie
