IdealAirLoads for ThermalZone with OpenStudio SDK

I'm trying to use the ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem system in the OpenStudio SDK through use of openstudio::model::ThermalZone::setUseIdealAirLoads(True). I want to be able to access the sizing information from the EnergyPlus simulation and am not clear on how this may be accessed within OpenStudio.

Is the sizing information (e.g. Design Cooling Air Flow Rate) that would normally be found in the HVAC Sizing Summary report accessible through the OpenStudio objects? It is not clear to me whether this information is contained in the SQL file and is linked to the model with openstudio::model::setSqlFile(sqlFile). Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Also, I wanted to note that I am using the python bindings to the SDK in version 1.5.4.
