Zero DistrictHeatingSteam for ExteriorLightsAndEq.idf in eplusout.sql

joseph-robertson commented 1 year ago

Issue overview

The idf contains:

  Exterior:FuelEquipment,
    OutsideSteamEq,          !- Name
    DistrictHeatingSteam,    !- Fuel Use Type
    ON,                      !- Schedule Name
    1000;                    !- Design Level {W}

eplustbl.htm: Table "Annual and Peak Values - Other" shows, e.g., "ExteriorEquipment:DistrictHeatingSteam=31.54".

eplusout.sql: Table "TabularDataWithStrings", shows:

I'd expect "RowName=Exterior Equipment" to be non-zero. (District Heating Water appears to correctly have 31.54.)

I found the root cause, you won't believe it, it's just a typo: https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/pull/9260#discussion_r1319884218
