Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Types.LogLevels

Enumeration for logging

Information

Enumeration for the level of outputs written by EnergyPlus. The possible values are:

LogLevels	Explanation
Error	Logs EnergyPlus errors and fatal errors.
Warning	Logs in addition EnergyPlus warnings.
Info	Logs in addition EnergyPlus informational messages.
Verbose	Logs in addition main C function calls during initialization and shut-down.
Debug	Logs everything, including all calls during time steps which can give large log files.

Modelica definition

type LogLevels = enumeration( Error "Errors", Warning "Warnings", Info "Information", Verbose "Verbose, log calls in initialization and shut-down", Debug "Verbose, log everything at each time step") "Enumeration for logging";

Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Types.Units

Enumeration for units used for schedules and EMS actuators

Information

Enumeration for the units used as inputs to the block Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus.Schedule.

The units are converted between Modelica and EnergyPlus as shown in the table below.

Angle (rad)	rad	rad
Angle (deg)	deg	rad
Energy	J	J
Illuminance	lux	lm/m2
Humidity (absolute)	kgWater/kgDryAir	1 (converted to mass fraction per total mass of moist air)
Humidity (relative)	%	1
Luminous flux	lum	cd.sr
Mass flow rate	kg/s	kg/s
Power	W	W
Pressure	Pa	Pa
Status (e.g., rain)	(no character)	1
Temperature	degC	K
Time	s	s
Volume flow rate	m3/s	m3/s
