Hi Kimiya,

You need to first read about EnergyPlus and the different output files it generates. Here is the getting started guide: https://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/docs/9-3/getting-started/index.html

Then you shall read about the various ways jEPlus collect data from E+ output: http://www.jeplus.org/wiki/doku.php?id=docs:manual_1_7_rvx. The data you want to collect should be all available in the tabular reports, hence the most relevant section is http://www.jeplus.org/wiki/doku.php?id=docs:manual_1_7_rvx#read_from_e_csv_tabular_report. If you are using jEPlus v2.0, the relevant fields can be inputted on the GUI, see the screenshot here:

There is no need to add anything to your model in the IDF Editor, except enabling the csv tabular output with this object:

OutputControl:Table:Style,CommaAndHTML;
