OpenStudio: Set UnitConversion to JtoKWH when generating idf

Hello, I use OpenStudio to run simulations of my BEM. When analyzing the results I use the summary generated by OpenStudio as well as the html file generated by EnergyPlus. I found how to switch to kWH for the report generated by OpenStudio, but I couldn't find how to switch the unit reportes in the EnergyPlus summary to kWh. I'm aware that one can set the Field UnitConversion inside OutputControl:Table:Style to JtoKWH when working in EnergyPlus directly to achieve this. However, I could not find how to tell OpenStudio to set this for me, when generating and idf file from the osm file. Is there an option to do that in OpenStudio? Could this be done by writing my own OpenStudio measure? Best regards Moritz EnergyPlus results in GJ OpenStudio results in kWh
