Unable to plot graphs.

Hi i got Eplog file, but unable get the graphs using - python3 -m baselines_energyplus.common.plot_energyplus -l Please let me know what I'm doing wrong or i need to plot the graph on different platform.

this is the place where i'm stuck now! )

Hi @prsi7. Thanks for reporting this issue.

The problem comes from an EnergyPlus output variable name change that happened between 9.3.0 and 9.4.0. You can find it mentioned in a documention issue in NREL repo here

Basically, Electric Demand Power variables were renamed Electricity Demand Rate in E+ 9.4.0 an onward. The automatic IDF upgrade tool worked well but our python code requires a change.

@prsi7 I've just pushed a fix, let me know if you still face issues with this.

@antoine-galataud Thank you so much. Yes, it's working now.

Also need guidance regarding the graph plot as per paper like this do we need to plot it separately out side the container ?

[antoine-galataud]

please refer to https://github.com/IBM/rl-testbed-for-energyplus/tree/master/docker#plotting (I just added it). Let me know if doesn't work.

@antoine-galataud Thank you so much it is working now with new container.

What if we want to plot the previous old container which was already trained for so long and has output.

[antoine-galataud]

@prsi7 hum, indeed that'd be annoying to lose that. My suggestion:

• run the old container where first experiment ran for a long time
• copy content of experiment folder to your hard drive, with something like docker cp [container_name]:/root/eplog/openai-2022-X-Y-Z /tmp/
• plot using python3 -m baselines_energyplus.common.plot_energyplus -l /tmp/openai-2022-X-Y-Z (no need to be in the container for that).
