Question-and-Answer Resource for the Building Energy Modeling Community

For Question 1, the AddOutputVariable just adds time series data to the EnergyPlus SQL file, it doesn't alter the OpenStudio Results html file. You can use Dview to to inspect the time series data or you can write a custom reporting measure to inspect that data and report the maximum value.
In this case however you may be able to lean on the HVAC Sizing Summary in the EnergyPus HTML file that comes with the simulation.It has a Zone Sensible Cooling and Zone Sensible Heating table.
In the future, please try and break each question into its own post, but in this case there is an existing post with that question and answer that you can refer to.
