[EnergyPlus_Support] Define the dimension of an EMS output variable
Dear All,
in an .idf I'm working on, I wrote an EMS program to sum the energy consumption of some electric coils.
I used Heating Coil Electric Power [W] sensors.
After that, I obtained the result I was looking for and a .sql file (via:->EnergyManagementSystem:OutPutVariable -> Output:Variable).
My problem is this: the calculated data in output to the EMS module seems to be dimensionless. I usually use Result Viewer to plot my .sql data but in this way I cannot compare an EMS output (for example the summed heating coil electric power) with a non-EMS output (for example the identical variable for a single coil simply reported in Output:Variable) because the first type of data is considered dimensionless and the second type of data has its own dimension (W in this case). In this case when I try to plot them in the same graph space, they are not reported with the same vertical axe, but in relation with 2 different axes.
Is there a way to define that a particular EMS output variable has an identified dimension and so, to have a plotting in reference to the same axe?
Thanks a lot
