archetypal.idfclass.Meters

class archetypal.idfclass.Meters(idf)[source]

Lists available meters in the IDF model.

Once simulated at least once, the IDF.meters attribute is populated with meters categories (“Output:Meter” or “Output:Meter:Cumulative”) and each category is populated with all the available meters.

Example

For example, to retrieve the WaterSystems:MainsWater meter, simply call

>>> from archetypal import IDF
>>> idf = IDF()  # load an actual idf file here
>>> idf.meters.OutputMeter.WaterSystems__MainsWater.values()

Hint

Available meters are read from the .mdd file

Initialize Meter.
