District Heating meter name

[erikkolderup]

Found that district heating results were not showing up in the OpenStudio results table and the monthly results were missing from eplustbl.html. It appears that the problem is that DistrictHeating is renamed to DistrictHeatingWater in the the latest EnergyPlus (NatLabRockies/EnergyPlus#9972 (comment)).

The meter is now DistrictHeatingWater:Facility rather than DistrictHeating:Facility.

Thanks @erikkolderup, I think this translation issue is in the OpenStudio SDK. I've opened NatLabRockies/OpenStudio#5101

Here is a measure that adds the meters in the meantime: add_district_heating_meters.zip

Is this a solved issue in OpenStudioApp 1.7.1? I still can't have access to the DistrictHeatingWater in the sqlFile and in the translated in.idf file I find:
Output:Meter,
DistrictHeating:Facility, !- Key Name
Timestep;

instead of
Output:Meter,
DistrictHeatingVater:Facility, !- Key Name
Timestep;

Hi @mapascual the 1.7.1 release did not upgrade the version of the OS SDK so it does not include the fix for this issue. The next release of OpenStudio 1.8.0 should include this fix. In the meantime, you can add this measure https://github.com/openstudiocoalition/OpenStudioApplication/files/14474018/add_district_heating_meters.zip to your workflow as a workaround.

Thank you for your answer and for your work.
