James,

You can create an hourly report output for this and then sum the results in Excel.  Go to the "projects and site" tab, double click on the hourly report, and add a new block.  Make it look like the picture attached.  Run the model and then go to file>export hourly results.  You will then have a .csv file with the hourly loads. You can also do this for each thermal zone you created.

Thanks Dr. Haberl and Nikola for the info, and it's clear now what the DOE2 file definitions are

The big question remains tho:

1. LOADS loads are calculated based on components of the buildings (window, wall, roof, etc) and these are design loads 2. SYSTEM loads are summarized loads subjected to the HVAC system, so these are "operation" loads

SYSTEM loads are not separate back into components, only total loads are present.

So my questions is really whether there is a way for me to break the SYSTEM loads back into components?, ie, x% of SYSTEM cooling load for month z is from wall conduction, y% is from window radiation, etc.

Is this even doable? hopefully I am making sense to you guys...

thanks!

- James
