In general the answer is that you can set up hourly outputs like below, using Output:Variable. You can then find the outputs in the resulting .csv file that EnergyPlus produces. You can also use Output:Meter similarly, and it may be useful if you want to get the outputs for, say, electricity use in the Fan or ExteriorLights end-use category.

Output:VariableDictionary will provide you with a list of your available outputs and meters which can be handy given how many different outputs are available.
