@OlivierC37, the ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem object allows you to output/compare "Outdoor Air" vs "Supply Air" vs "Zone" vs "Heat Recovery" total cooling energy, so you can pinpoint when/where cooling loads are being picked up (e.g. OA vs zonal loads). The examples in the linked overview should be helpful.

This would be in addition to the standard EnergyPlus SHG summary table, e.g. annual (GJ) vs peak (W) sensible cooling breakdown (e.g. lighting/equipment vs infiltration vs opaque assemblies vs fenestrated assemblies). A starting point?
