cooling load calculation in energy plus

Hi, all.

In energy plus, how to calculate the cooling load? I think cooling loads consist of wall conduction, infiltration, conv,cond,rad to window, and ventilation, and internal gain(human, light,machine). So I think the sum of these are the cooling load.

And in energy plus, output names are

ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT#Block1:CLASS#GeneralLights:InteriorLights:Electricity J BLOCK1:CLASS:Zone People Sensible Heating Rate W BLOCK1:CLASS_PARTITION_2_0_0:Surface Inside Face Conduction Heat Transfer Rate W

is it right the lists of "load" ?

I feel confusing that mean of "energy" and "load". I don't know that what is the output name about "load" in Energy Plus.

Please let me know. thank you..!
