If you are just looking for the annual peak demand, you may want to take a look at the "Energy Meters" table in tabular output file. If you want monthly peak demands, take a look at the 5ZoneEconomicsTariffAndLifeCycleCosts.idf example file and the PEAK ENERGY END-USE - ELECTRICITY PART 1 and 2 reports in the tabular output file. If you want monthly values in the meter file, you can use:
Output:Meter:MeterFileOnly,Electricity:Facility,monthly;
Output:Meter:MeterFileOnly,Electricity:Building,monthly;
Output:Meter:MeterFileOnly,InteriorLights:Electricity,monthly;
Output:Meter:MeterFileOnly,Electricity:HVAC,monthly;
Output:Meter:MeterFileOnly,Electricity:Plant,monthly;
etc...
Note that the raw MTR file has the maximum value for each meter but that is not included in the Meter.csv file. If you want them in the normal CSV file you can use the "power" versions of the outputs for individual items like:
Lights Electric Power
