Ashrae sizing: Zone Sensible Cooling and ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem

Hi, I'm studying ASHRAE 2009 cooling sizing (RESIDENTIAL COOLING AND HEATING LOAD CALCULATIONS Chapter 17) and in my model I'm using an IdealLoad system.

Can I get the sizing results from EnergyPlus? I see two tables that could be useful (in the html file): Zone Sensible Cooling and ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem tables. Is one of these the ASHRAE sizing result?

Referring to the html tables, if I read the table Zone Sensible Cooling it misses the ventilation losses. On the other hand, the ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem gives me very high values (much more than the Zone Sensible Cooling plus the ventilation loss) and I can't find an E+ document where the sizing method is described.
