Revision history [back]

To report loads like this at different intervals, you will need to examine the RDD output file. This file contains a list of all possible output variables that can be reported to a CSV file and it changes depending upon what is included in your model (i.e. if there are no electric equipment objects, there can be no electric equipment outputs). Here are some outputs that you seem to be interested in:

Output:Variable,,People Total Heating Energy,monthly; !- Zone Sum [J] *Need to have People objects in model
Output:Variable,,Lights Total Heating Energy,monthly; !- Zone Sum [J] *Need to have Lights objects in model
Output:Variable,,Electric Equipment Total Heating Energy,monthly; !- Zone Sum [J] *Need to have ElectricEquipment objects in model
Output:Variable,,Surface Inside Face Conduction Heat Transfer Rate,monthly; !- Zone Average [W] *Need to have BuildingSurface:Detailed or other opaque surface objects in model
Output:Variable,,Surface Window Heat Gain Rate,monthly; !- Zone Average [W] *Need to have FenestrationSurface:Detailed or other transparent surface objects in model
Output:Variable,,Zone Infiltration Sensible Heat Loss Energy,monthly; !- HVAC Sum [J] *Need to have ZoneInfiltration:DesignFlowRate objects in model
Output:Variable,,Air System Fan Air Heating Energy,hourly; !- HVAC Sum [J] *Need to have fan object as part of air system in model

For the ventilation sensible heat transfer, you should probably use the sensible heat gain output variable for the ventilation fan. This may require some more post-processing work if you have lots of zones or objects, as you'll need to add the outputs in the CSV output file to get a total value for each category in the model

The last input field before the semi-colon ";" in each output variable is the reporting frequency. They are currently all set to monthly, but you can change that or even have multiple instances of the same output variable with different reporting frequencies. If you want to examine what model objects these output variables correspond to, it's easy to do a Google Custom Search from the online E+ Input / Output Reference documentation.

EDIT

If you are only interested in seeing annual summaries of typical sensible load contributions in each zone, then add the Sensible Heat Gain Summary option to the Output:Table:SummaryReports object.
