hourly values of outdoor air flow

This is probably a very simple question, but would appreciate if someone can help me out. I’m using Energy Plus to simulate a typical VAV system and want to confirm that my outdoor air is modeled correctly (zero ventilation during unoccupied hours, and constant ventilation air during occupied hours). So, my first question is: How can I output the hourly values of the outdoor air flow for a VAV system? Also, I’m trying to understand Report: Outdoor Air Summary. How does Energy Plus determine the occupied hours? For example, my Average Outdoor Air During Occupied Hours is different from Minimum Outdoor Air During Occupied hours, although I would expect these two values to be the same.

Thanks!
