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

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
