[Bldg-sim] Need to extract summer peak demand info from REM/Rate

My company has identified a need to estimate peak demand information for
homes that have been inspected by HERS raters and are modeled in REM/Rate.
We are not HERS providers or sub-licensed raters, so we do not own or
currently use REM/Rate ourselves. I understand that REM/Rate employs a
seasonal methodology that does not predict hourly values, so I have a
two-part question:

 

1.       Despite the lack of hourly simulation values, is there a way to
derive peak demand information (e.g. given a definition of 'peak') using
REM/Rate?

2.       I'm interested to know whether anybody has experience creating
input files for other simulation software (any software that does
residential modeling and provides 8760 output) from REM/Rate .blg files.

 

Thanks!

Greg Landreth
