Discrepancy between Glossary and Output results

[daren-thomas]

Can you be more specific please? What is the discrepancy?

[amraladdin]

Yeah yeah, wait, it was a mistake that it got posted... I didn't put the description yet :)

While organizing the output values for the Total_Demand.csv, I realized there is a bit of discrepancy between what is in the .CSV file and the Documentation Glossary. Here is what I found so far:

1. Trww0_C exists in the documentation (under Scenario Outputs>Data>Peak Values), but it's not in the output of the Total_Demand.csv .
2. In the same section of the documentation (under Others) the value Vw0_m3 exists as the total fresh water consumption (cold + hot), while in the output I have Vw_m3yr,Vww0_m3,Vww_m3yr, so should the output value Vw_m3yr become Vw0_m3yr?
3. The values Vww0_m3,Vww_m3yr are not described anywhere in the glossary Data outputs.
4. The following values are in the documentation but not in the Total_Demand.csv file Eauxf0_kWh,Edataf0_kWh,Epro0_kW,Ef0_kW,Qcdataf0_kW,Qcref0_kW,Qcs0_kW,QCf0_kW,Qhs0_kW,Qww0_kW,QHf0_kW
5. Qhprof_MWhyr is one of the outputs, but it is not in the documentation.
6. Aroof_m2,GFA_m2,occ_pax are not mentioned in the Yearly Values, only occ_pax is mentioned in the Hourly Values.

That's all I found for now, I believe some of these comments might apply on the demand-per-building outputs as well... So I'll check that and report here.

In terms of the Demand Outputs per building, here are my notes:

1. Why aren’t the floor area part of the outputs?
2. Final electricity in industrial processes is abbreviated in the Hourly Values as Epro_kWh, while the same definition in the Yearly Values is written as Eprof_MWhyr, so shouldn’t we fix it to either Epro or Eprof?
3. Qhprof_kWh,Qww_tankloss_kWh,Ecaf_kWh,Tww_tank_C,Tsref_C,Trref_C,Tsdata_C,Trdata_C,mcpref_kWC,mcpdata_kWC are outputs in the .csv file but not in the documentation under (Hourly Values).

For the Embodied Energy and Operational Energy, I strongly suggest the following:

1. To change in the documentation the title Primary energy demand and emissions to Operational energy demand and emissions.
2. Differentiate between the names of the output results to the following:
   • For Embodied Energy E_ghg_ton,E_ghg_kgm2,E_pen_GJ,E_pen_MJm2
   • For Operational Energy O_ghg_ton,O_ghg_kgm2,O_pen_GJ,O_pen_MJm2
   • For Mobility M_ghg_ton,M_ghg_kgm2,M_pen_GJ,M_pen_MJm2

@daren-thomas @JIMENOFONSECA Who can be assigned this task?

[jimenofonseca]

@amraladdin i think you have identified different issues here and they are worth spliting in three:

1. discrepancies documentation and total_demand.csv
2. eprof and epro related comment
3. embodied energy and emissions folder.

would you mind creating a separate issue for each? As for the first. I believe we maintain the documentation according to the tool outputs. So you can update this. As for the second i can help. As for the thrid, would you mind @martin-mosteiro making the changes?. It is an easy fix but you might want to cross check that these changes does not brake the benchmark graphs...

[martin-mosteiro]

Sure, that's an easy fix. @amraladdin please assign the issue to me once you've created it.

[amraladdin]

Done :) Thanks!

[amraladdin]

Oh, sorry, I didn't read Jimeno's comment... Ok, I'll set the issues and assign @martin-mosteiro

[daren-thomas]

@JIMENOFONSECA: Good call. Maybe we can add this to the contributors manual? An issue should be focused on one thing only?

[amraladdin]

Ok, I'm on it.

[jimenofonseca]

i agree
