View EnergyPlus results from multiple output files of some specific variable

Hello,

I am having an results view issue here. Wondering anyone could give me some tips, really appreciate.

The EP was called multiple times to run different simulation based on different IDF files (for example, EP was run 10 times, results in 10 Eso files and other results files. ) However, what I really interested was only some particular variables, such as the total PV generation, electricity consumption of whole building and electricity consumption of heat pumps and water heaters etc.

So what I would like to achieve is that is there a way to pick a particular result from 10 different Eso files into EXCEL or in CSV format. In order to make the results comparable, and then plot them.

I knew that xEsoView could plot the variable against the time (hourly monthly or yearly) , however, I could not physically see the exact value of the variable for a certain time period (Yes, it could be seen when you move the mouse to the points, however,it was time-consuming).

If it was only 2 or 3 files, I could do it manually, read each value of the variable for a certain period, and then plot the graph. However, I think the results data was stored in some place, and there should be some way to read the results in more effective way to save time when dealing with lots of results.

If anyone have any suggestions and tips, I really appreciate your kind support and help here.

Thanks Nancy

And also the results viewer from DesignBuilder could view multiple .Eso files and do the similar function of plotting or saving data as a comma separated values file for loading into a spreadsheet for further analysis, however, is there any effective way to solve this problem for a large scale of .Eso files, lets say 100?

If it was only 2 or 3 files, I could do it manually, read each value of the variable for a certain period, and then plot the graph.
