Extracting data easily from a large model - Peak days?

Thanks, I’ve done some reading of the topics here:

Several Solar Enclosures - How to determine parent rooms?

Hi @Martin6 , Thanks for bringing up this issue. I was able to create a simple case where the solar enclosure data was not matched with the correct Room. So your hunch was right and there is a bug for the case where you have multiple solar enclosures (aka. multiple groups of rooms that are continuously connected by air boundaries). For some reason, the E+ and OpenStudio developers made it extraordinarily difficult to get the solar enclosure info out of the EnergyPlus calculation and there’s cu…

and here:

HB Color Rooms - Solar Gains are not shown when rooms have airwalls

I would add: if they aren’t reporting the original room IDs, this seems like a conceptual error from the EP team that can be easily fixed on their end. Unless there’s some additional complexity or nuance I’m missing here. The only problem I can think of is that the output would represent a non-uniform distribution of solar energy between multiple rooms as misleadingly uniform distribution when averaged together.

Seems my issue is due to the airboundaries, and how E+ groups them. It doesn’t seem like I can easily get my answer.
