I hope to output the hourly heating load throughout the year (Heating:EnergyTransfer in EnergyPlus) through Honeybee, rather than the heating energy consumption. Is this possible?
Hi @hehedudu , While you can add any number of Output Variables, I don’t believe there is any GH component to add Meters (?), but you can always use the ‘add_str_’ to pass in the IDF text to add that object to the run.
all the best,

Thank you for your reply. I tried this method, but it seems that Honeybee can’t handle data in Output:Meter.
I guess I may need to try something else. But still, thank you!
This method worked fine on my computer. You can use Read CustomResult component to get heat transfer by input Heating:EnergyTransfer as _output_names.
Here is my test case and hourly data visualization
