When using EnergyPlus directly, the Zone Component Load Summary which can be generated by specifying it using Output:Table:SummaryReports which describes it as:
The Zone Component Loads Summary provides an estimate of the heating and cooling peak loads for each zone broken down into various components. This report may help determine which components of the load have the largest impact for the heating and cooling peak design conditions. When specified, the Zone Component Loads Summary report is created for each zone that is conditioned.
Since the heat balance algorithm that EnergyPlus uses does not support generating this kind of information directly, the report uses a side calculation to estimate the impact of each load component. The method used to create these estimates are described here. You may also want to see the example in the Output Details and Examples documention.
