Output:Table:ReportPeriod[LINK]

The Output:Table:ReportPeriod object allows the user to create a series of tabular reports over a certain subset of a simulation run period. Multiple such reporting periods may be defined, each with a unique “Name”. Currently, it only supports resilience reporting tables (see Resilience Summaries).

When it is defined, a series of reporting-period-specific resilience summary reports will be generated at the end of all tabular reports. The results will be based on aggregations over the intersection between the start date to the end date defined here and a run period. Multiple reporting periods may be input.

If the report is used for the evaluation of the thermal resilience properties during a power outage, the model configuration needs to consider common behavioral adaptations like increased air exchange from opening windows during hot events, or the use of alternative heating fuels (fireplaces, stoves) during cold events. Without taking these into considerations, the model output might be misleading.

In each table, a row corresponds to a zone or space. Four additional rows are appended to the bottom of each table to provide summary statistics (min, max, average, and sum) across zones/spaces in a building. Each column is a reporting variable.

Inputs[LINK]

Field: Name[LINK]

This required field allows the ReportPeriod to be named and will appear in the header at the beginning of a series of resilience tables for this reporting period.

Field: Report Name[LINK]

This field specifies the group of reports to generate for this reporting period. Currently, only ThermalResilienceSummary, CO2ResilienceSummary, VisualResilienceSummary, and AllResilienceSummaries are allowed. It could be extended to other tables in the future.

Field: Begin Year[LINK]

This optional numeric field may contain the beginning year for the range. If not specified, the year will be zero, and will not be used in the determination of the reporting period.

Field: Begin Month[LINK]

This numeric field should contain the starting month number (1 = January, 2 = February, etc.) for the reporting period desired.

Field: Begin Day of Month[LINK]

This numeric field should contain the starting day of the starting month (must be valid for month) for the reporting period desired.

Field: Begin Hour of Day[LINK]

This numeric field should contain the starting hour of day for the reporting period desired.

Field: End Year[LINK]

This optional numeric field may contain the end year for the range. If not specified, the year will be zero, and will not be used in the determination of the reporting period.

Field: End Month[LINK]

This numeric field should contain the ending month number (1 = January, 2 = February, etc.) for the reporting period desired.

Field: End Day of Month[LINK]

This numeric field should contain the ending day of the ending month (must be valid for month) for the reporting period desired.

Field: End Hour of Day[LINK]

This numeric field should contain the end hour of day for the reporting period desired.
