Detailed Description

Meter is a ModelObject that wraps the OpenStudio IDD object 'OS_Meter'.

A Meter is a virtual instrument measuring energy use of some fuel type at a particular location. Meter objects may be associated with various classes in the building model hierarchy (e.g. Facility, Building, Zone, Plant, etc). A Meter can be used to request output data as well as access it from the EnergyPlus SQLite output. If the user wants to access measured data from a particular Meter, they must ensure that input objects are present to trigger EnergyPlus to output the desired data. This is similar to needing to instrument a real building during field measurements.

Member Function Documentation

bool openstudio::model::Meter::cumulative ( ) const
boost::optional<EndUseType> openstudio::model::Meter::endUseType ( ) const

Returns the end use type to meter from the name field.

For example, to meter all Lights the end use type would be "InteriorLights" and the Meter name would be "InteriorLights:Electricity:Facility".

boost::optional<FuelType> openstudio::model::Meter::fuelType ( ) const

Returns the fuel type to meter from the name field.

For example, to meter all electricity use the fuel type would be "Electricity" and the Meter name would be "Electricity:Facility".

boost::optional<openstudio::TimeSeries> openstudio::model::Meter::getData ( const std::string &  envPeriod) const

Returns TimeSeries data for this Meter. Requires EnergyPlus simulation data.

boost::optional<openstudio::TimeSeries> openstudio::model::Meter::getData ( const std::string &  envPeriod,
const boost::optional< std::string > &  specificInstallLocation 
) const

Returns TimeSeries data for this Meter, using given specificInstallLocation instead of this->specificInstallLocation.

Useful if this->specificInstallLocation is '*'. Requires EnergyPlus simulation data.

static std::string openstudio::model::Meter::getName ( const boost::optional< std::string > &  specificEndUseType,
const boost::optional< EndUseType > &  endUseType,
const boost::optional< FuelType > &  fuelType,
const boost::optional< InstallLocationType > &  installLocationType,
const boost::optional< std::string > &  specificInstallLocation 
)
static

Returns the Meter name for a set of inputs.

static IddObjectType openstudio::model::Meter::iddObjectType ( )
static
boost::optional<InstallLocationType> openstudio::model::Meter::installLocationType ( ) const

Returns the location the meter is installed at from the name field.

For example, to meter all electricity at the Facility level the install location would be "Facility" and the Meter name would be "Electricity:Facility".

bool openstudio::model::Meter::isCumulativeDefaulted ( ) const
bool openstudio::model::Meter::isMeterFileOnlyDefaulted ( ) const
bool openstudio::model::Meter::isReportingFrequencyDefaulted ( ) const
bool openstudio::model::Meter::meterFileOnly ( ) const
static boost::regex openstudio::model::Meter::meterRegex ( )
static

Returns the regular expression used to parse the name field.

bool openstudio::model::Meter::resetSpecificInstallLocation ( )
void openstudio::model::Meter::setCumulative ( bool  cumulative)
bool openstudio::model::Meter::setEndUseType ( EndUseType  type)

Sets the end use type to meter in the name field.

For example, to meter all Lights the end use type would be "InteriorLights" and the Meter name would be "InteriorLights:Electricity:Facility".

bool openstudio::model::Meter::setFuelType ( FuelType  type)

Sets the fuel type to meter in the name field.

For example, to meter all electricity use the fuel type would be "Electricity" and the Meter name would be "Electricity:Facility".

bool openstudio::model::Meter::setInstallLocationType ( InstallLocationType  type)

Sets the location the meter is installed at from the name field.

For example, to meter all electricity at the Facility level the install location would be "Facility" and the Meter name would be "Electricity:Facility".

void openstudio::model::Meter::setMeterFileOnly ( bool  meterFileOnly)
bool openstudio::model::Meter::setName ( std::string  name)
bool openstudio::model::Meter::setReportingFrequency ( const std::string &  reportingFrequency)
bool openstudio::model::Meter::setSpecificEndUse ( const std::string &  specifcEndUse)

Sets the specific end use category to meter in the name field.

For example, to meter all Lights with endUseSubcategory set to "General" the specific end use would be "General" and the Meter name would be "General:InteriorLights:Electricity:Facility". Passing an empty string will unset the value.

bool openstudio::model::Meter::setSpecificInstallLocation ( const std::string &  locationName)

Sets the specific location the meter is installed at from the name field.

For example, to meter all electricity in a Zone named "Zone1" the specific install location would be "Zone1" and the Meter name would be "Electricity:Zone:Zone1". Passing an empty string will unset the value, '*' indicates reporting for all locations.

boost::optional<std::string> openstudio::model::Meter::specificEndUse ( ) const

Returns the specific end use category to meter from the name field.

For example, to meter all Lights with endUseSubcategory set to "General" the specific end use would be "General" and the Meter name would be "General:InteriorLights:Electricity".

boost::optional<std::string> openstudio::model::Meter::specificInstallLocation ( ) const

Returns the specific location the meter is installed at from the name field.

For example, to meter all electricity in a Zone named "Zone1" the specific install location would be "Zone1" and the Meter name would be "Electricity:Zone:Zone1". The value '*' indicates reporting for all locations.
