Keywords ResourceType, EndUseType, GroupType are predefined by the software and available only with these forms.

Note: The last 7 EndUseTypes from HeatingCoils to HeatRecoveryForHeating can be combined only with EnergyTransfer ResourceType.

The EndUseSubcategory keyword is defined by the user and depends on the inputs defined in the HVAC components or gains on the activity tab.

The ZoneIDFName keyword is also defined by the user and depends on the block and zone names used in the model.

GroupType Hierarchy

Facility meters contain all the energy of the model.

Building meters contain the sum of each zone’s energy. 

HVAC meters contain the energy from the air loops and zone HVAC system components. 

Plant meters contain the energy from the plant and condenser loops and their equipment.
Exterior meters contain the energy from the exterior components such as exterior lights.

Zone meters contain the energy from interior equipment and interior lights.

Thus, the following relationships should be observed: 

Reporting Frequency

Common options include Timestep, Hourly, Daily, Monthly and RunPeriod. 

Diagnostics

If a meter doesn't appear in the Results Viewer, check the eplusout.err file or the eplusout.mtd file. The latter contains a detailed list and explanation of all meters for a given run and the component values accumulated on each meter.
