Trouble-shooting Energyplus sizing calculation

I am trying to troubleshoot my Energyplus/Openstudio sizing results. Is there a way to obtain a load breakdown for lighting, internal equipment, people and most-importantly envelope gains (conductance and solar)? I am seeing Energyplus sizing results that are very far-off what I would expect based on running Trane Trace 700 to perform the envelope loss/gain calculations.

What I would like to do is find a way to break down the Energyplus sizing so I can trouble-shoot where I am going wrong with my inputs.
