I am new to EnergyPlus.

I have created a simple building with 6 zones in SketchUp using the OpenStudio plugin. I have also setup an ACMV system in OpenStudio and run simulations successfully.

Next, I would like to define actuator variables using EnergyPlus IDF editor through EP-Launch for which I need to access EDD file. However, after running simulation successfully through EP-Launch, Edd file is not produced. All fields in Output:EnergyManagementSystem are set to Verbose.

The .err file contains the following:

Warning ** CheckIFAnyEMS: No EnergyManagementSystem has been set up in the input file but output is requested.
   **   ~~~   ** No EDD file will be produced. Refer to EMS Application Guide and/or InputOutput Reference to set up your EnergyManagementSystem.

Thanks in advance. Niki
