definition of District cooling, District Cooling:Facility and Heating Load

Sorry for the primary question, but I really cannot find the answer for that.

I have two output files:"Austin Energy Enduse Timeseries CSVExport" and "Zone Equipment Report". I have some questions about the definition/content of some terms. (1) In "Austin Energy Enduse Timeseries CSVExport", what is district cooling("Cooling:DistrictCooling [kBtu]" )mean? Does it includes water heating or only includes space heating? (2)In "Austin Energy Enduse Timeseries CSVExport", what is the difference between "Cooling:DistrictCooling [kBtu]" and "District Cooling:Facility [kBtu]”? (3) In "Zone Equipment Report", what is the definition of "Heating Loads" in "Zone Load Summary"?

I really need to figure out the definitions, Please help me :) Thanks in advance!

Sincerely, Meiwen Zhou

(1) In "Austin Energy Enduse Timeseries CSVExport", what is district cooling("Cooling:DistrictCooling [kBtu]" )mean? Does it I have three thermal zones in my model. This district heating includes the heating for all three zones? And does the district heating includes water heating or only includes space heating? (2)In "Austin Energy Enduse Timeseries CSVExport", what is the difference between "Cooling:DistrictCooling [kBtu]" and "District Cooling:Facility [kBtu]”? (3) In "Zone Equipment Report", what is the definition of "Heating Loads" in "Zone Load Summary"?
