idf and epjson generate output with different column headers

epJSON

These appear to be taken straight from the input file, and so would explain the difference.

Wouldn't it be nicer to align these field names? Perhaps this may/could be related to use of the overrideSizingString method.

Different components have different field names so for example the Camel Case version of the string could be changed here in the sizing function:

DXCoils.cc

std::string stringOverride = "Low Speed Gross Rated Total Cooling Capacity [W]";
if (state.dataGlobal->isEpJSON) {
    stringOverride = "low_speed_gross_rated_total_cooling_capacity [W]";
}

If the overrideSizingString function is not used then there is only 1 choice for field name, and that will not work for all the different fields in different objects:

CoolingCapacitySizing.cc

if (this->overrideSizeString) {
    if (this->isEpJSON) {
        this->sizingString = "cooling_design_capacity [W]";
    }
}
