I wanted the hourly data from Openstudio/Energyplus for zone-wise aggregation in excel. Why am i getting 8920 row of data instead of 8766 hour or 8760. I do not want to aggregate the results in EP as I want to do it manually analysing them hourly, daily, monthly. Any thought why and what's the best way?

It might be including all your runs, design day runs etc... I would check the time stamps for each piece of data and then remove the times that you don't want to use in your analysis.

As this is not one time simulation and I wish to optimize model based on the results. This needs to be taken care in the code itself, otherwise with every run I will have to manually fix the output. This wont be smart way of doing it.

I think you can turn off design days etc.. and only have 8760 hours of data reported for each simulation. If you are doing multiple run periods in the same simulation you could set up a spreadsheet to remove the data you want to analysis piece by piece. That way once the sheet was set up you could just paste the e+ data in and let the spreadsheet do the data sorting for you.

@rkbest, did you verify that this is the problem, i.e., design days included in the results? Also, what exactly are you opening in Excel, eplusout.csv? eplusssz.csv? Something else?

I exposed the result from the eplusout.eso using the designbuilder result viewer to excel. eplusssz.csv only have 144 row of data = 6*24 interval .

I unchecked on variable in Openstudio which was design hour or design day and it fixed the extra data. Thanks @amirroth and other
