Hi,

I am trying to setup a Baseboard Heater in EnergyPlus using the code as follows:

ZoneHVAC:Baseboard:Convective:Electric,
  Zone A BASEBOARD,  !- Name
  Zone A Heating Availability Sch,  !- Availability Schedule Name
  HeatingDesignCapacity,   !- Heating Design Capacity Method
  5000,                    !- Heating Design Capacity {W}
  ,                        !- Heating Design Capacity Per Floor Area {W/m2}
  ,                        !- Fraction of Autosized Heating Design Capacity
  0.97;                    !- Efficiency

There are many outputs available for this class and I am interested in the output HVAC,Sum,Baseboard 'HVAC,Sum,Baseboard Electric Energy [J]. [J]'. I checked my RDD file and it is available.

But, whenever I try to request this output, I get the following error:

The following Report Variables were requested but not generated -- check.rdd file
**   ~~~   ** Either the IDF did not contain these elements, the variable name is misspelled,

I checked everything but EPlus is still throwing that error. Please help to fix this.

Thank you for your time..
