Balance Point for the thermal zones

How can I calculate the balance point temperature in Openstudio?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_point_temperature

Is it right to assume that if the cooling load is zero for a zone, it means we have a "balance point" situation in it?

Is there any report that allows us to know what will be the outside temperature when we attain this condition?

I went through some old posts, but didn't find a lot of information on it.
