How to predict heating load in residential building on hourly basis for whole year using energy plus ?

hello everyone, I trying to predict the heating load profile in the residential building using energy plus simulation software. I am able to create a day (24 hours) load profile in 15-minute resolutions. for that, I have used reference building and weather file from USA DOE. I am intended to generate a whole year (8760 hours) load profile for a residential building. but I can not understand which parameter I need to consider on an hourly basis load profile for the whole year. I am looking for your suggestions on it.
