Zone-wise output results

I have the .mtd file with 1400 lines, the last section do have For Meter=Electricity:HVAC [J], ResourceType=Electricity, Group=HVAC, contents are: VRF ZONE TERMINAL FAN:Fan Electric Energy VRF ZONE TERMINAL FAN 4:Fan Electric Energy VRF ZONE TERMINAL FAN 5:Fan Electric Energy VRF ZONE TERMINAL FAN 1:Fan Electric Energy VRF ZONE TERMINAL FAN 6:Fan Electric Energy VRF ZONE TERMINAL FAN 2:Fan Electric Energy However, these variable are not in ESO as results, How do I go about including these. As they provide me the zone-wise energy break, which I need to compare with system wise.

I was suggested to include output variable from measures, but that allows one variable at a time. As I need the energy, cooling etc zone-wise or system wise. A direct group of output variable will help. Any suggestion on the easiest way to accomplish this. An example with instruction will really help as I am new to Eplus nomenclature, variable strings etc.

While the add variable and add meter measures only allow you can add a single meter, you can add multiple instances of these to your workflow to add in more than one meter.

If you have a specific set of outputs you frequently like to look at you can also hard code them all into one measure. You would basically loop through the code adding a different string in each time. For reference here is a link to the add output variable and the add meter measures.

Many outputs can be directly added from the output variables tab (icon is an "X") without the use of a measure. We don't have an interface for meters.

Thanks, I think I will have to switch to energyplus instead of openstudio to have more control and modifcation capabilities as most forum users have experience with EP and not OS.
