The annual component loads summary

I am trying to get the annual cooling load contributed by window solar, window conduction and external wall.

I know in eQUEST and DOE-2, there is a report about cooling load which provides the annual accumulated cooling loads of different components, named "win sol, win con, wall". But in EP, I cannot find a similar report or variables.

In EP, the "component load summary" report seems can provide these loads for zones (in "estimated peak cooling load component"), but only the PEAK load is presented here. This means the EP can make such kind of calculation. In the Engineering Reference, it is stated that this calculation is only be done for the sizing days.

Does this mean I cannot use EP to get the annual cooling load contributed by different components? Thanks for your help in advance!
