Simulation Output

​
 - [source code]​
Create a simulation output object by selecting sets of commonly-requested output variables. The resulting object can be used to request output variables from EnergyPlus.
Inputs
zone_energy_use
Set to True to add outputs for zone energy use when ideal air systems are assigned. This includes, ideal air heating + cooling, lighting, electric + gas equipment, and fan electric energy. 
hvac_energy_use
Set to True to add outputs for HVAC energy use from detailed systems. This includes outputs for different pieces of equipment, which together catch all energy-consuming parts of a system. (eg. chillers, boilers, coils, humidifiers, fans, pumps). 
gains_and_losses
Set to True to Add outputs for zone gains and losses. This includes such as people gains, solar gains, infiltration losses/gains, and ventilation losses/gains. 
comfort_metrics
Set to True to add outputs for zone thermal comfort analysis. This includes air temperature, mean radiant temperature, relative humidity. 
surface_temperature
Set to True to add outputs for indoor and outdoor surface temperature. 
surface_energy_flow
Set to True to add outputs for energy flow across all surfaces. 
load_type
An optional text value to set the type of load outputs requested. Default - 'All'. Choose from the following:
All - all energy use including heat lost from the zone
Total - the total load added to the zone (both sensible and latent)
Sensible - the sensible load added to the zone
Latent - the latent load added to the zone
report_frequency
Text for the frequency at which the outputs are reported. Default: 'Hourly'. Choose from the following:
Annual
Monthly
Daily
Hourly
Timestep
Outputs
report
Report! 
sim_output
A SimulationOutput object that can be connected to the "HB Simulation Parameter" component in order to specify which types of outputs should be written from EnergyPlus.
