Generate EP Output

This component helps select simulation outputs that can be hooked into the "Honyebee_Export to OpenStudio" component. Outputs are taken from here:
http://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/docs/8-3/input-output-reference/
You can also use the "Honeybee_Read Result Dictionary" component after running a simulation to get a list of all possible outputs that you can request from a given simulation.

Inputs

Name	ID	Description	Type
Zone Energy Use	zoneEnergyUse_	Set to "True" to have EnergyPlus solve for basic building energy use such as heating, cooling, electricity for lights and electricity for plug loads for each zone.	Goo
Zone Gains And Losses	zoneGainsAndLosses_	Set to "True" to have EnergyPlus solve for building gains and losses such as people gains, solar gains and infiltration losses/gains.	Goo
Zone Comfort Metrics	zoneComfortMetrics_	Set to "True" to have EnergyPlus solve for the mean air temperature, mean radiant temperature, operative temperature, and relative humidity of each zone.	Goo
Comfort Map Variables	comfortMapVariables_	Set to "True" to have EnergyPlus solve for the air flow and air heat gain of each zone, which is needed for the comfort map air stratification calculation.	Goo
Zone HVACParams	zoneHVACParams_	Set to "True" to have EnergyPlus solve for the fractions of heating/cooling loads that are latent vs. sensible as well as the the flow rate and temperature of supply air into each zone.	Goo
Surface Temp Analysis	surfaceTempAnalysis_	Set to "True" to have EnergyPlus solve for the interior and exterior surface temperatures of the individual surfaces of each zone.	Goo
Surface Energy Analysis	surfaceEnergyAnalysis_	Set to "True" to have EnergyPlus solve for the gains and losses through the individual surfaces of each zone.	Goo
Glazing Solar Analysis	glazingSolarAnalysis_	Set to "True" to have EnergyPlus solve for the transmitted beam, diffuse, and total solar gain through the individual window surfaces of each zone. These outputs are needed for Energy Shade Benefit Analysis.	Goo
Load Type	_loadType_	An integer or text value to set the type of load outputs requested (sensible, latent, total). The default is set to "0 = Total" but you may want to change this to "1 = Sensible" for zone HVAC sizing, etc. Choose from the following options: 0 = Total 1 = Sensible 2 = Latent	Goo
Timestep	timestep_	Specify a timestep by inputing the words 'timestep', 'hourly', 'daily', 'monthly' or 'annual'. The default is set to hourly.	Goo

Outputs

Name	ID	Description	Type
Out	report	Report!	String
Simulation Outputs	simulationOutputs	EnergyPlus code that should be plugged into the "simulationOutputs" parameter of the "Honeybee_Export to OpenStudio" component.	Goo
