Meter equipment by space type in OpenStudio

Hi,

I would like to break out interior equipment usage by space type so that I can accurately report kitchen/data center/elevator/escalator energy use as separate from general plug loads. I know that I can add the "Electric Equipment Electric Energy" output variable in OpenStudio, but this outputs the equipment loads for each individual zone. I would like to find a way to combine equipment loads by space type so that I can run many models and reduce post-processing time. Is there a solution that someone else has used for this? If not, perhaps there is a general interior load that can be added, similar to eQUEST?

Thanks, Amy Egerter
