Air Loop Simulation Environment Variables[LINK]
To facilitate comparing the runtime performance of various solution techniques for the air loop simulation a mechanism to track runtime statistics has been implemented in EnergyPlus. To facilitate debugging the air loop simulation a tracing mechanism operating either at the air loop-level or at the controller-level has been implemented in EnergyPlus. To use, one uses the “Set” command and the value as indicated.
Setting to “yes” will cause EnergyPlus to track the performance of the air loop simulation at runtime and dump the results in a file named “statistics.HVACControllers.csv” upon ending the simulation. (Uses logical variable TrackAirLoopEnvFlag in module DataSystemVariables).
Set TRACK_AIRLOOP = yes
TRACE_AIRLOOP: Air loop simulation tracer[LINK]
Setting to “yes” will cause EnergyPlus to write to a trace file named “controller.<Air Loop Name>.csv” the converged solutions of all controllers defined on each air loop, at each HVAC iteration. (Uses logical variable TraceAirLoopEnvFlag in module DataSystemVariables).
Set TRACE_AIRLOOP = yes
TRACE_HVACCONTROLLER: Individual HVAC controller tracer[LINK]
Setting to “yes” will cause EnergyPlus to write to a trace file named “controller.<Controller Name>.csv” a detailed description of each controller iteration at each HVAC iteration. (Uses logical variable TraceControllerEnvFlag in module DataSystemVariables).
Set TRACE_HVACCONTROLLER = yes
