32 F = 0 C, which means the outside fields are all zero and the zone values are default conditions as well. My guess is that it is related to this commit that fixes unit conversion for this output table in the E+ 9.2 release.

I'm assuming you're using E+ v9.1 or earlier. Since you requested the output html report in IP units, the conversions and reporting for the load component report happened before it accessed the air loop and facility variables, leaving you with the blank initialized constants (0 values).

Your options are to 1) update to EnergyPlus v9.2 (included in the OpenStudio v2.9.0 release if you are using OS), or 2) keep the EnergyPlus output tables in the default SI units.

Also peak load terminology: Peak load generally refers to design day sizing. If you are looking at peak load in the annual run period, which is what the facility load component summary report does, mention 'peak load during the annual run period' or something to that effect. Otherwise people will assume you are talking about design days.
