Hi @BestiaParda,

I spent some time this weekend to debug this issue. There were two issues in my previous sample file:

  1. EMS metered output variable for HP was not set correctly for EndUseCategory: it was set to “Baseboard” by mistake.

  2. The customized air source heat pump was not recognized as a heating equipment in OpenStudio, so we have to set OperationHeatingLoadScheme by ourselves to ensure the HP will be used correctly.

With above fixes, now I am able to get HP running correctly with output values:

Here is the updated example file:

To use the example file correctly, you will need to update the Ironbug with following zip file:

Thanks, and please let me know if you find any issues.
