Output average demand over a specific period with EnergyPlus?

Is it possible to use tabular output to report average demand over a specific period with EnergyPlus?

I want to add a table to be included in the eplustbl.htm file that shows "peak demand" as defined by a particular utility or region (ex. California DEER peak demand savings are the average kW reduction over a 9-hour window - 2pm to 5pm over a three-day period).

I currently do this via post-processing of hourly output:variable output, but I was wondering if EnergyPlus can do the averaging for me somehow and report it in the .htm file.
