# Read Result Dictionary

Parse an .rdd file from an energy simulation to show all possible outputs that can be requested from the simulation.

## Inputs

* **rdd \[Required]**

  Full path to a RDD file that was generated by EnergyPlus. 
* **keywords**

  An optional list of keywords that will be used to filter the output names. 
* **join\_words**

  If False or None, this component will automatically split any strings of multiple keywords (spearated by spaces) into separate keywords for searching. This results in a greater liklihood of finding an item in the search but it may not be appropropriate for all cases. You may want to set it to True when you are searching for a specific phrase that includes spaces. (Default: False). 

## Outputs

* **outputs**

  A list of EnergyPlus output names as strings (eg. 'Surface Window System Solar Transmittance'). If no keywords are input, this will be a list of all possible outputs that can be requested from the simulation. Outputs can be requested from the simulation by plugging them into the output*names* of the "HB Custom Simulation Output" component.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ladybug.tools/hb-energy-primer/components/6_result/read_result_dictionary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
