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

[Jim Dirkes <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Annie,

I think I see the problem; your plant loop is providing the power and there is no cooling power user within the buildings except perhaps a pump.

I think this is a post-processing task in which you:

·         report the building cooling energy transfer for each building using custom meters

·         also the plant cooling power  (Plant cooling power may have several elements and need another custom meter.)

·         It seems that you can then proportion the power to your buildings based on their fraction of the total energy transfer.
