The last input to the ElectricEquipment object allows the energy use to be included in a unique sub-category name at your choosing (e.g., OfficeElecEquip, KitchenElecEquip, DataCenterElecEquip, etc.). The Lights object also used this same input (4th input from end of object).

@amyegerter, this is a good question. hopefully some others will jump in with ideas, I can try as well. One question I do have is if your elevator and escalator loads are assigned to a space type, or assigned directly to a space. As a note the SpaceType Summary section of the standard OpenStudio report does list the installed internal load capacities by space type, but that doesn't give you consumption. While we could get the annual equivilant hours from the schedules to get conusmption, I think using the EnergyPlus SQL file is better, in particular for lighting.
If you search for 'openstudio' and 'output-meter' tags there are a few questions. Some of them mention EnergyPlus Meter:Custom object that is not yet in OpenStudio API.
Currently that could be added as an OpenStudio measure.
