though the output file you likely will want to view for your analysis is the
.eso file and there is a great viewer xEsoView that is free and is great for
viewing these outputs. To determine what variables are presented in the ESO
file you will need to add the variables from the RDD file to the IDF file if
the variables are not presently being reported. I believe you will need to do
this in the IDF editor, and if you have run the simulation once there will be a
drop down list of available variables in the IDF menu for Reports:Variables.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>Hello<br>
<br>
I have few queries regarding rescheduling in Open Studio. Also I am a new user
of Energy+. <br>
<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>1.</span></b> I produce basic building
geometry in Sketchup and set the available input data. One thing that I
understand from this is that Open Studio have very limited inputs. Also
scheduling is automatically set for the simulations. Then I run the E+
simulation within Sketchup. I want only the zone comfort i.e. (MRT and MAT).
The result in excel format have temperatures within every 15 mins. But I want
the hourly temperature only. <u>What I have to do for hourly result within
sketchup</u>? <br>
<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>2. </span></b>I want to take this process
further. I want to edit the scheduling and change the building materials. What
I understand from this is that sketchup help in setting the building
coordinates easily. After setting the building geometry in sketchup, can one edit
the scheduling and other related stuff that is taken default in open studio.
The (.idf file) produce in Open Studio while saving, can this (.idf file) after
rearranging the scheduling and changing material assembly in IPF Editor work
for further simulation analysis. Can this process be done? I tried this but its
giving errors. Hope I am able to explain my query. <br>
<br>
Please help me. <br>
<br>
Thanks <br>
<br>
