Report specific variable in EnergyPlus

Hi all,

New e+ user here. I am running some .idf files (DOE commercial reference buildings) in EnergyPlus and need to retrieve some variables that are not in the standard reports. More specifically, I am looking for the reheat heating load for VAV/CAV boxes.

I can see that the reheating coils are listed in the HVAC EQUIPMENT section of the idf file, but I don't see any reheat information in the rdd (report data dictionary) file. Does anyone know how I can include these specific variables in the report?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
