Sensible Heat Gain Summary Hourly

Hi All,

I'm conducting a study on the heating and cooling demand of a building, and I'm using the "sensible heat gain summary" report for it.

My issue is that I need to obtain the values from the "HVAC Zone Eq & Other Sensible Air Heating (W)"column for the entire year. I've been looking at the input/output reference document, but it seems like the variables are outdated, and I can't find the variables I should use in the "output:variable" section to get the same value from this column for each hour of the year.

(I'm using HVACTemplate:Zone:IdealLoadsAirSystem)

Thanks for your attention.

EDIT: I am using the "Zone ideal Loads Zone Sensible Heating Rate" output which gives me a maximum value of 4kW compared to the 23kW that appears in "sensible heat gain summary"

Thanks for your attention.
