eplustbl.<ext>[LINK]
The eplustbl file contains the tabular output results that are created when using the following objects:
The format and the extension for the file depends on the setting of the ColumnSeparator field of the Output:Table:Style object. The choices of HTML, tab, fixed, comma, and XML result in eplustbl.htm, eplustbl.tab, eplustbl.txt, eplustbl.csv, eplustbl.xml respectively. The HTML version of the report also includes a table of contents that allows easier navigation through the file.
By default the energy units reported in all of the eplustbl files are in Joules (J) but the UnitConversion field of the Output:Table:Style object allows for the values to be reported in MJ, GJ or in kWh. In addition, the Output:Table:Style object can specify for the tables to be in IP units for all fields.
Output:Table:SummaryReports[LINK]
Several predefined reports are available from the Output:Table:SummaryReports object including the following. (spaces are inserted in names for readability; keys are included in the Input Data Dictionary or by just removing the spaces):
Lists all following applicable tables with “Summary” in the name.
Lists all following applicable tables with “Monthly” in the name.
Lists all following applicable tables with both “Summary” and “Monthly” in the name. This does not include the Zone Component Load Summary report.
- All Summary and Sizing Period
Lists the All Summary tables as well as the Zone Component Load report (currently the only Sizing Period report). Please note that the Zone Component Load report does increase the run time because it repeats sizing periods.
- All Summary Monthly and Sizing Period
Lists the All Summary tables, the Monthly tables as well as the Zone Component Load report (currently the only Sizing Period report). Please note that the Zone Component Load report does increase the run time because it repeats sizing periods.

Each of these reports is made up of several sub-tables of information. Examples of some of the tables are shown below. To enable all of the reports the single All Summary may be specified.
The Annual Building Utility Performance Summary report provides an overview of energy consumption in the building for different end uses. The following is an example this report (some columns may be truncated due to page size). The key used to obtain this report is AnnualBuildingUtilityPerformanceSummary.
In the Comfort and Setpoint Not Met Summary sub-table, facility hours represents the total number of hours that any single zone did not meet the comfort or setpoint criteria. It is not weighted by number of zones or number of occupants.
The values in the End Uses sub-table are from report meters. To determine which components are attached to each end-use meter, consult the meter details output file (*.mtd).

Lighting Summary[LINK]
The Lighting Summary report provides a description of the interior and exterior lighting systems being simulated. It also provides a summary of daylighting controls. The Interior Lighting table has three columns that are explained below:
Scheduled Hours/Week [hr] - In the schedule shown, this represents the average weekly sum of hourly values. It is based on a full year even if the simulation is only performed for part of the year. It is not affected by daylighting.
Hours/Week > 1% [hr] – This represents the average hours per week that are above 1% of the design value.
Full Load Hours/Week [hr] – This is based on consumption and hours that the consumption occurred. It is dependent on the run period used. When simulating only a portion of the year, the value depends on which days of the year (the number of weekdays versus weekend days, for example) are simulated. It also indicates the impact of daylighting control. Directly following is an example of the report. The key used to obtain this report is LightingSummary.

HVAC Sizing Summary[LINK]
The HVAC Sizing Summary report provides information on the zone cooling and heating sizing and the peak load conditions as well as information about the system air flow sizing. The Design Load is the zone sensible load only and it does not include any system effects or ventilation loads. The user specified design load and airflow and the values calculated by the program are shown in the report along with the time of the peak load and the temperature and humidity ratio at the time of the peak during the sizing periods. This information is generated for both the Zone Sensible Cooling and Zone Sensible Heating tables.
Also included is the System Design Air Flow Rates which includes the calculated cooling air flow rate, the user specified air flow rate for cooling, the calculated heating air flow rate, and the user specified air flow rate for heating.
Note: values listed as “calculated” are the unaltered result of the zone or system sizing calculations, using the design sizing period weather and schedules specified in the input. Values listed as “user specified” are either the calculated values modified by global or zone sizing factors or values specified with the flow/zone or flow/system design air flow method.
The HVAC Sizing Summary also includes a coil summary report table. This is a large data table that collects a variety of results organized by each individual coil. It can be viewed in html or csv format but it expected to be used from the sqlite database. The table has 87 columns and a row for each coil in the building model. The column titles are also called fields here, as in fields to use with a database query.
Throughout this table the special value of -999.0 is deliberately used to signal that no data are available to report for that coil for that field or column. This could be for a variety of reasons such as, no sizing calculations in the model, did not run design day full simulations, particular fields only applies to certain types of coils, certain calculations are only performed for particular coils, etc. If you find a -999.0 in a situation where you think the value should be available, please report it. Another special value of -99999.0 may be encountered which is used within EnergyPlus to signal that numeric input fields were set to Autosize, Autocalculate, or left blank and in some cases this value will carry into the coil report table.
The encyclopedic documentation that follows is important because in many cases, very similiar data are available from up to three separate fields and one must be careful to understand the subtle differences and be aware that there is some repetition of the similar types of data in the fields. This is mainly because coil performance changes with the conditions under which it operates and so an important part of this table is describing each coil under different sets of operating conditions.
There are three broad groupings of data fields in the table:
Meta data. The meta data fields include string names to identify the coil, where it is being used, names and types of IDF objects involved, what some of the various sizing method input choices were set to, and information about the supply fan and plant found to be associated with the coil. 40 fields.
Ideal loads sizing summary. The collection of fields whose names end with “at Ideal Loads Peak” are all related to the sizing calculations done by the ideal loads zone sizing routines and the system sizing routines based on them. Many of the values reported here come from Sizing:Zone and/or Sizing:System input. The operating conditions occuring during Ideal Loads sizing calculations are unlikely to match the conditions used in the definitions for coil input data. 36 fields.
Rating point summary. This is a collection of fields with names that end in “at Rating Conditions.” The model input data for many types of coils is based on defined set of conditions variously referred to as the rating point, reference, nominal, or design. The coil models are calculated with conditions set to match the rating point and the inputs and outputs from that are reported here. Many of the values here are from the input documentation that defines the conditions at the rating point. The coil capacities and leaving conditions are the results from the running complete coil model. Some coil models do not have a rating point as part of the model definition, because the models are not sensitive to operating conditions, and those coils will have -999.0 in these fields. 11 fields.
The following is a comprehensive listing of each column/field in the coil summary table with a brief definition and/or summary.
Coil Type The input object class name in IDF syntax. Text string.
Coil Location The broad type of HVAC this coil is being used in. “AirLoop” means the coil is part of a central air system, such as a main coil in a multizone air handler. “Zone Equipment" means that the coil is part of Zone equipment like a PTAC, or in the zone terminal unit of an airhandler like a VAV reheat coil. Text string.
HVAC Type This is more specifically what HVAC the coil is used in. The values are the input object class name, in IDF syntax, found to be associated with the coil. Text string.
HVAC Name This is the unique user name input for the HVAC Type. The strings will be converted to upper case compared to what is in the actual input data file. Text string.
Zone Name(s) This is the zone, or list of zones, found to be associated with this coil. The zone name is defined by the user in the Zone object. For multizone systems, the coils can have a list of zone names with the individual names separated by a semicolon. The zones listed here are those used to generate (aggregate and volume-weighted average) values for the room conditions and loads. Text string.
System Sizing Method Concurrence This field applies to “AirLoop” coils. It describes if the central air system sizing was done using “Coincident” or “Non-Coincident” method. This refers to how the ideal loads sizing routines process the time sequence of zone loads. The concurrent sum of peaks, or coincident or “block”, is often lower than the sum of the individual peaks regardless of when they occur, or non-conicident sum. This field is not applicable to “Zone Equipment" coils and will show “N/A” here. This corresponds to the input field called Type of Zone Sum to Use in the Sizing:System input object. Text string.
System Sizing Method Capacity This field applies to “AirLoop” coils. It describes what was chosen for the method of determining coil capacity during ideal loads sizing routines. The values here will match the input key choices available for the the Sizing:System object’s input fields called Cooling Design Capacity Method, for cooling coils, and Heating Design Capacity Method, for heating coils. Values here of “HeatingDesignCapacity” or “CoolingDesignCapacity” mean that the coil was sized using the design loads calculated from the zone ideal loads results. When sizing was scaled using floor area the value here would be “CapacityPerFloorArea.” Values of FractionOfAutosizedHeatingCapacity and FractionOfAutosizeCoolingCapacity mean that the usual design load based results were further scaled by a separate user scaling factor. This field is not applicable to “Zone Equipment" coils and will show “N/A” here. Text string.
System Sizing Method Air Flow This field applies to “AirLoop” coils. It describes what was chosen for the method of determining the system air flow rate during ideal loads sizing routines. This field is not applicable to “Zone Equipment" coils and will show “N/A” here. Text string.
Autosized Coil Capacity? This field describes if the coil capacity was autosized or not. Values here will be “Yes” or “No.” A “No” means that the size of the coil was set at input, hard sized, and no capacity sizing calculations were done for the coil. A “Yes” means that coil’s capacity was autosized. Text string.
Autosized Coil Airflow? This field describes if the coil’s airflow rate was autosized or not. Values here will be “Yes” or “No.” A “No” means that the airflow rate used to size the coil’s capacity was set at input, hard sized. This means that the coil’s capacity was set for an airflow rate that was not autosized. A “Yes” means that the airflow rate for the coil came from sizing calculations. Text string.
Autosized Coil Water Flow? This field describes if the coil’s water flow rate was autosized or not. Values here will be “Yes” or “No.” A “No” means that the water flow rate used to size the coil’s capacity was set at input, hard sized. This means that the coil’s capacity was set for a water flow rate that was not autosized. A “Yes” means that the water flow rate for the coil came from sizing calculations. This field is only applicable to water-to-air coils. Text string.
OA Pretreated prior to coil inlet? This field describes if the coil’s sizing calculations are based on the outdoor air being preconditioned, as with a separate coil, or if the outdoor air is unconditioned. Values here will be “Yes” or “No.” A “No” means that the outdoor air is not preconditioned. A “Yes” means that the outdoor is preconditioned. This field only really applies to central air system coils. The outdoor air may be mixed with return air before the coil, but that mixed air may be based on either treated or untreated outdoor air, depending on Sizing:System input. Text string.
Coil Final Gross Total Capacity [W] This field describes the coil’s gross total capacity, in units of W. No fan impact. This field will generally be the main value the model uses for capacity as a result of the sizing calculations. However if a coil was not autosized, the capacity was hard sized on input, then this field will be filled with the hard sized coil capacity (if that is a parameter in the coil model). This field is very similiar to the field called Coil Total Capacity at Rating Conditions with the difference being that this one is the model input while that other one is the result of running the full coil model at the rating point conditions. Water heating coil models using UA and design water flow rate performance input method do not have a single design capacity in Watts and this field will show as -99999.0 (and the coil is better characterized using the field called Coil U-value Times Area Value). Real number.
Coil Final Gross Sensible Capacity [W] Real number. This field describes the coil’s gross sensible capacity, if available, in units of W. No fan impact. This field is generally the total capacity multiplied by the sensible heat ratio if both are defined in the model. Real number.
Coil Final Reference Air Volume Flow Rate [m3/s] This field describes the coil’s rated/reference/nominal air flow rate, in units of m3/s. This field will generally be the model input (or autosize result) for the process air flow rate through the coil at the rating point. Some coil models do not have any rated/reference/nominal air flow rate as part of the model description (d.g. electric and gas heating coils) and these will have -999.0 in this field. Real number.
Coil Final Reference Plant Fluid Volume Flow Rate [m3/s] This field describes the coil’s rated/reference/nominal water flow rate, in units of m3/s. This field will be the model input or autosize result for the source water, or other plant fluid type, flow rate through the coil at the design or rating point. Many coils have no water source and these will have -999.0 in this field. Real number.
Coil U-value Times Area Value [W/K] This field describes the coil’s overall UA value, in units of W/K. This is mainly for the Coil:Heating:Water coil using the Performance Input method of UFactorTimesAirAndDesignWaterFlowRate and is not avaliable for other coils. This will be the result from the ideal loads sizing calculations or the hard sized entry. Real number.

Standard 62.1 Summary[LINK]
This report is more fully described in the Input Output Reference. The Standard 62.1 Summary produces a report that is consistent with many of the outputs needed when doing calculations consistent with ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2010. The report is generated when sizing calculations are specified. The abbreviations used in the report are consistent with the abbreviations used in Appendix A4 of the Standard. Directly following is an example of the report. The key used to obtain this report is Standard62.1Summary.

Component Loads Summary[LINK]
Three different Component Loads Summary reports can be generated. The Zone Component Loads Summary, the AirLoop Component Loads Summary and the Facility Component Loads Summary. Each provides an estimate of the heating and cooling peak loads for each zone broken down into various components. This report may help determine which components of the load have the largest impact for the heating and cooling peak design conditions. When specified, the Zone Component Loads Summary report is created for each zone that is conditioned. The Sensible-Delayed column of the summary is only an estimate based on a procedure described in the Engineering Reference documentation. An intermediate calculation in this procedure is the decay curves that are shown in the the EIO file when Output:Surfaces:List is set to show DecayCurvesFromComponentLoadsSummary. The difference between the peak design sensible load and the estimated instant + delayed sensible load (as shown in the Peak Conditions subtable) is an indication of how consistent the overall total estimate may be to the computed total peak loads for the zone. Engineering checks have been added showing some ratios that may be useful in checking the results. When the report is called the zone sizing calculations are repeated twice so this may result in longer simulation times. The key used to obtain these reports are ZoneComponentLoadSummary, AirLoopComponentLoadSummary, FacilityComponentLoadSummary.

Output:Table:TimeBins[LINK]
A TimeBins report shows a grid of the number of hours that specific report variable spend in a range of values. The first table is broken into two parts. The first part is monthly and the second part is for each hour of the day. The columns show the range of values. A second table is provided to show some statistics on the report variable for the entire year including the maximum and minimum. These statistics are helpful in setting the field values for the interval in the Output Table:TimeBins object. Due to this, it is often necessary to run two simulations to fully utilize the TimeBins report with the first run used to find the minimum and maximum of the variable, these values are then used in the TimeBins object and the second run a better table of binned results are displayed.

Output:Table:Monthly[LINK]
Monthly reports are not predefined. Instead each column is defined when using the Output:Table:Monthly object. In that object each column is defined by a variable and how it should be aggregated. The StandardReports.idf file is located in DataSets directory where EnergyPlus is installed and contains a large number of examples of how to use Output:Table:Monthly to get summaries of the performance of different components in the building model. These examples include:

UtilityCost:Tariff[LINK]
Two output reports – EconomicResultSummary and TariffReport – are related to the use of UtilityCost:Tariff for the calculation of annual utility costs. Since EnergyPlus 8.6, these reports are no longer generated and need to be specifically requested. To get the reports individually use EconomicResultSummary and TariffReport in the Output:Table:SummaryReports object. These are also available when using any of the AllSummary options.
The first report is a summary across multiple tariffs and is called the Economics Results Summary report and is shown directly below. After that example is an example of the Tariff report which is created for each of the UtilityCost:Tariff Objects defined in the IDF file (some columns may be truncated due to page size).

Lighting Summary[LINK]
The Lighting Summary report provides a description of the interior and exterior lighting systems being simulated. It also provides a summary of daylighting controls. The Interior Lighting table has three columns that are explained below:
Scheduled Hours/Week [hr] - In the schedule shown, this represents the average weekly sum of hourly values. It is based on a full year even if the simulation is only performed for part of the year. It is not affected by daylighting.
Hours/Week > 1% [hr] – This represents the average hours per week that are above 1% of the design value.
Full Load Hours/Week [hr] – This is based on consumption and hours that the consumption occurred. It is dependent on the run period used. When simulating only a portion of the year, the value depends on which days of the year (the number of weekdays versus weekend days, for example) are simulated. It also indicates the impact of daylighting control. Directly following is an example of the report. The key used to obtain this report is LightingSummary.

HVAC Sizing Summary[LINK]
The HVAC Sizing Summary report provides information on the zone cooling and heating sizing and the peak load conditions as well as information about the system air flow sizing. The Design Load is the zone sensible load only and it does not include any system effects or ventilation loads. The user specified design load and airflow and the values calculated by the program are shown in the report along with the time of the peak load and the temperature and humidity ratio at the time of the peak during the sizing periods. This information is generated for both the Zone Sensible Cooling and Zone Sensible Heating tables.
Also included is the System Design Air Flow Rates which includes the calculated cooling air flow rate, the user specified air flow rate for cooling, the calculated heating air flow rate, and the user specified air flow rate for heating.
Note: values listed as “calculated” are the unaltered result of the zone or system sizing calculations, using the design sizing period weather and schedules specified in the input. Values listed as “user specified” are either the calculated values modified by global or zone sizing factors or values specified with the flow/zone or flow/system design air flow method.
The HVAC Sizing Summary also includes a coil summary report table. This is a large data table that collects a variety of results organized by each individual coil. It can be viewed in html or csv format but it expected to be used from the sqlite database. The table has 87 columns and a row for each coil in the building model. The column titles are also called fields here, as in fields to use with a database query.
Throughout this table the special value of -999.0 is deliberately used to signal that no data are available to report for that coil for that field or column. This could be for a variety of reasons such as, no sizing calculations in the model, did not run design day full simulations, particular fields only applies to certain types of coils, certain calculations are only performed for particular coils, etc. If you find a -999.0 in a situation where you think the value should be available, please report it. Another special value of -99999.0 may be encountered which is used within EnergyPlus to signal that numeric input fields were set to Autosize, Autocalculate, or left blank and in some cases this value will carry into the coil report table.
The encyclopedic documentation that follows is important because in many cases, very similiar data are available from up to three separate fields and one must be careful to understand the subtle differences and be aware that there is some repetition of the similar types of data in the fields. This is mainly because coil performance changes with the conditions under which it operates and so an important part of this table is describing each coil under different sets of operating conditions.
There are three broad groupings of data fields in the table:
Meta data. The meta data fields include string names to identify the coil, where it is being used, names and types of IDF objects involved, what some of the various sizing method input choices were set to, and information about the supply fan and plant found to be associated with the coil. 40 fields.
Ideal loads sizing summary. The collection of fields whose names end with “at Ideal Loads Peak” are all related to the sizing calculations done by the ideal loads zone sizing routines and the system sizing routines based on them. Many of the values reported here come from Sizing:Zone and/or Sizing:System input. The operating conditions occuring during Ideal Loads sizing calculations are unlikely to match the conditions used in the definitions for coil input data. 36 fields.
Rating point summary. This is a collection of fields with names that end in “at Rating Conditions.” The model input data for many types of coils is based on defined set of conditions variously referred to as the rating point, reference, nominal, or design. The coil models are calculated with conditions set to match the rating point and the inputs and outputs from that are reported here. Many of the values here are from the input documentation that defines the conditions at the rating point. The coil capacities and leaving conditions are the results from the running complete coil model. Some coil models do not have a rating point as part of the model definition, because the models are not sensitive to operating conditions, and those coils will have -999.0 in these fields. 11 fields.
The following is a comprehensive listing of each column/field in the coil summary table with a brief definition and/or summary.
Coil Type The input object class name in IDF syntax. Text string.
Coil Location The broad type of HVAC this coil is being used in. “AirLoop” means the coil is part of a central air system, such as a main coil in a multizone air handler. “Zone Equipment" means that the coil is part of Zone equipment like a PTAC, or in the zone terminal unit of an airhandler like a VAV reheat coil. Text string.
HVAC Type This is more specifically what HVAC the coil is used in. The values are the input object class name, in IDF syntax, found to be associated with the coil. Text string.
HVAC Name This is the unique user name input for the HVAC Type. The strings will be converted to upper case compared to what is in the actual input data file. Text string.
Zone Name(s) This is the zone, or list of zones, found to be associated with this coil. The zone name is defined by the user in the Zone object. For multizone systems, the coils can have a list of zone names with the individual names separated by a semicolon. The zones listed here are those used to generate (aggregate and volume-weighted average) values for the room conditions and loads. Text string.
System Sizing Method Concurrence This field applies to “AirLoop” coils. It describes if the central air system sizing was done using “Coincident” or “Non-Coincident” method. This refers to how the ideal loads sizing routines process the time sequence of zone loads. The concurrent sum of peaks, or coincident or “block”, is often lower than the sum of the individual peaks regardless of when they occur, or non-conicident sum. This field is not applicable to “Zone Equipment" coils and will show “N/A” here. This corresponds to the input field called Type of Zone Sum to Use in the Sizing:System input object. Text string.
System Sizing Method Capacity This field applies to “AirLoop” coils. It describes what was chosen for the method of determining coil capacity during ideal loads sizing routines. The values here will match the input key choices available for the the Sizing:System object’s input fields called Cooling Design Capacity Method, for cooling coils, and Heating Design Capacity Method, for heating coils. Values here of “HeatingDesignCapacity” or “CoolingDesignCapacity” mean that the coil was sized using the design loads calculated from the zone ideal loads results. When sizing was scaled using floor area the value here would be “CapacityPerFloorArea.” Values of FractionOfAutosizedHeatingCapacity and FractionOfAutosizeCoolingCapacity mean that the usual design load based results were further scaled by a separate user scaling factor. This field is not applicable to “Zone Equipment" coils and will show “N/A” here. Text string.
System Sizing Method Air Flow This field applies to “AirLoop” coils. It describes what was chosen for the method of determining the system air flow rate during ideal loads sizing routines. This field is not applicable to “Zone Equipment" coils and will show “N/A” here. Text string.

A “Yes” means that coil’s capacity was autosized. Text string.
Autosized Coil Airflow? This field describes if the coil’s airflow rate was autosized or not. Values here will be “Yes” or “No.” A “No” means that the airflow rate used to size the coil’s capacity was set at input, hard sized. This means that the coil’s capacity was set for an airflow rate that was not autosized. A “Yes” means that the airflow rate for the coil came from sizing calculations. Text string.
Autosized Coil Water Flow? This field describes if the coil’s water flow rate was autosized or not. Values here will be “Yes” or “No.” A “No” means that the water flow rate used to size the coil’s capacity was set at input, hard sized. This means that the coil’s capacity was set for a water flow rate that was not autosized. A “Yes” means that the water flow rate for the coil came from sizing calculations. This field is only applicable to water-to-air coils. Text string.
OA Pretreated prior to coil inlet?

Values here will be “Yes” or “No.” A “No” means that the outdoor air is not preconditioned. A “Yes” means that the outdoor is preconditioned. This field only really applies to central air system coils. The outdoor air may be mixed with return air before the coil, but that mixed air may be based on either treated or untreated outdoor air, depending on Sizing:System input. Text string.
Coil Final Gross Total Capacity [W] This field describes the coil’s gross total capacity, in units of W. No fan impact. This field will generally be the main value the model uses for capacity as a result of the sizing calculations. However if a coil was not autosized, the capacity was hard sized on input, then this field will be filled with the hard sized coil capacity (if that is a parameter in the coil model). This field is very similiar to the field called Coil Total Capacity at Rating Conditions with the difference being that this one is the model input while that other one is the result of running the full coil model at the rating point conditions. Water heating coil models using UA and design water flow rate performance input method do not have a single design capacity in Watts and this field will show as -99999.0 (and the coil is better characterized using the field called Coil U-value Times Area Value). Real number.

This field will generally be the model input (or autosize result) for the process air flow rate through the coil at the rating point. Some coil models do not have any rated/reference/nominal air flow rate as part of the model description (d.g. electric and gas heating coils) and these will have -999.0 in this field. Real number.

Component Loads Summary[LINK]
Three different Component Loads Summary reports can be generated. The Zone Component Loads Summary, the AirLoop Component Loads Summary and the Facility Component Loads Summary. Each provides an estimate of the heating and cooling peak loads for each zone broken down into various components. This report may help determine which components of the load have the largest impact for the heating and cooling peak design conditions. When specified, the Zone Component Loads Summary report is created for each zone that is conditioned. The Sensible-Delayed column of the summary is only an estimate based on a procedure described in the Engineering Reference documentation. An intermediate calculation in this procedure is the decay curves that are shown in the the EIO file when Output:Surfaces:List is set to show DecayCurvesFromComponentLoadsSummary. The difference between the peak design sensible load and the estimated instant + delayed sensible load (as shown in the Peak Conditions subtable) is an indication of how consistent the overall total estimate may be to the computed total peak loads for the zone. Engineering checks have been added showing some ratios that may be useful in checking the results. When the report is called the zone sizing calculations are repeated twice so this may result in longer simulation times. The key used to obtain these reports are ZoneComponentLoadSummary, AirLoopComponentLoadSummary, FacilityComponentLoadSummary.

Output:Table:TimeBins[LINK]
A TimeBins report shows a grid of the number of hours that specific report variable spend in a range of values. The first table is broken into two parts. The first part is monthly and the second part is for each hour of the day. The columns show the range of values. A second table is provided to show some statistics on the report variable for the entire year including the maximum and minimum. These statistics are helpful in setting the field values for the interval in the Output Table:TimeBins object. Due to this, it is often necessary to run two simulations to fully utilize the TimeBins report with the first run used to find the minimum and maximum of the variable, these values are then used in the TimeBins object and the second run a better table of binned results are displayed.

UtilityCost:Tariff[LINK]
Two output reports – EconomicResultSummary and TariffReport – are related to the use of UtilityCost:Tariff for the calculation of annual utility costs. Since EnergyPlus 8.6, these reports are no longer generated and need to be specifically requested. To get the reports individually use EconomicResultSummary and TariffReport in the Output:Table:SummaryReports object. These are also available when using any of the AllSummary options.
The first report is a summary across multiple tariffs and is called the Economics Results Summary report and is shown directly below. After that example is an example of the Tariff report which is created for each of the UtilityCost:Tariff Objects defined in the IDF file (some columns may be truncated due to page size).
