RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Reporting global data through custom meter and how to view them




If a variable shows up in the RDD file, then it is valid.  If not, it’s not valid. 

The same is true for meters and the MDD file.

Have you checked those?

Thanks Jeremiah,

Well, I tried to change the variables but I made no progress... I tried also to change the variable ��� "AFN Zone Infiltration Air Change Rate":



Output:Variable,
��� *,���������������������� !- Key Value
��� AFN Zone Infiltration Air Change Rate ,� !- Variable Name
��� Hourly;����������������� !- Reporting Frequency


!-�� ===========� ALL OBJECTS IN CLASS: OUTPUT:METER ===========

Output:Meter,
��� Volume infiltrazione totale,� !- Name
��� Hourly;����������������� !- Reporting Frequency


!-�� ===========� ALL OBJECTS IN CLASS: METER:CUSTOM ===========

Meter:Custom,
��� Volume infiltrazione totale,� !- Name
��� Generic,���������������� !- Fuel Type
��� Block1:Zone1,����������� !- Key Name 1
��� AFN Zone Infiltration Air Change Rate,� !- Output Variable or Meter Name 1
��� Block2:Zone1,����������� !- Key Name 2
��� AFN Zone Infiltration Air Change Rate;� !- Output Variable or Meter Name 2





The variables are correctly reported in the .sql file and the custom:meter "volume infiltrazione totale" is reported but it's empty!

Is it possible? So, there is no way to obtain by E+ the global infiltration of the building in ach? It sounds strange... It should be just the sum of the variables... Where I'm wrong?

Dear forum,

I'm using meter:custom to calculate the sum (timestep per timestep) of the ach infiltration of a model. This model has many zones and i would like to read whole data for them. I created variables and meters in this way:

!-�� ===========� ALL OBJECTS IN CLASS: OUTPUT:VARIABLE ===========

Output:Variable,
��� *,���������������������� !- Key Value
��� AFN Zone Infiltration Air Volume,� !- Variable Name
��� Hourly;����������������� !- Reporting Frequency

Output:Variable,
��� *,���������������������� !- Key Value
��� AFN Zone Infiltration Air Volume,� !- Variable Name
��� Daily;������������������ !- Reporting Frequency

Output:Variable,
��� *,���������������������� !- Key Value
��� AFN Zone Infiltration Air Volume,� !- Variable Name
��� Monthly;���������������� !- Reporting Frequency

Output:Variable,
��� *,���������������������� !- Key Value
��� AFN Zone Infiltration Air Volume,� !- Variable Name
��� Annual;����������������� !- Reporting Frequency


!-�� ===========� ALL OBJECTS IN CLASS: OUTPUT:METER ===========

Output:Meter,
��� Volume infiltrazione totale,� !- Name
��� Hourly;����������������� !- Reporting Frequency

Output:Meter,
��� Volume infiltrazione totale,� !- Name
��� Daily;������������������ !- Reporting Frequency

Output:Meter,
��� Volume infiltrazione totale,� !- Name
��� Monthly;���������������� !- Reporting Frequency

Output:Meter,
��� Volume infiltrazione totale,� !- Name
��� Annual;����������������� !- Reporting Frequency


!-�� ===========� ALL OBJECTS IN CLASS: OUTPUT:METER:METERFILEONLY ===========

Output:Meter:MeterFileOnly,
��� Volume infiltrazione totale,� !- Name
��� Hourly;����������������� !- Reporting Frequency

Output:Meter:MeterFileOnly,
��� Volume infiltrazione totale,� !- Name
��� Monthly;���������������� !- Reporting Frequency

Output:Meter:MeterFileOnly,
��� Volume infiltrazione totale,� !- Name
��� Daily;������������������ !- Reporting Frequency

Output:Meter:MeterFileOnly,
��� Volume infiltrazione totale,� !- Name
��� Annual;����������������� !- Reporting Frequency


!-�� ===========� ALL OBJECTS IN CLASS: METER:CUSTOM ===========

Meter:Custom,
��� Volume infiltrazione totale,� !- Name
��� Generic,���������������� !- Fuel Type
��� *,���������������������� !- Key Name 1
��� AFN Zone Infiltration Air Volume;� !- Output Variable or Meter Name 1





(In this model there are 2 zones, and it's an example)
The output variable maybe are useless, but using the meters I can't see the data in the sql file. How can I see the data?

Marco

p.s:
Also using the following text it doesn't work.

Meter:Custom,
��� Volume infiltrazione totale,� !- Name
��� Generic,���������������� !- Fuel Type
��� Block1:Zone1,���������������������� !- Key Name 1
��� AFN Zone Infiltration Air Volume;� !- Output Variable or Meter Name 1
��� Block2:Zone1,���������������������� !- Key Name 2
��� AFN Zone Infiltration Air Volume;� !- Output Variable or Meter Name 2
