As @mdahlhausen alluded to, there is no built-in EnergyPlus capability for this. You have to disaggregate the outputs by using a requesting several Output:Variable objects.
However, an alternative would be to model each building unit as a separate EnergyPlus model, using adiabatic surfaces as appropriate. Then there would be no work required to get the energy consumption of each building unit separately. This of course works best if each unit has individual heating, cooling, and hot water systems.
