Use the Report Variable command, explained on p. 530 of the Input 
Output Reference.  See the *.rdd output file for your run to see what 
report variables are available.  For example:

Report variable, *, Daylight Illum at Ref Point 1, hourly;

To evaluate different options, you must use different zones or 
multiple input files.  Multiple input files is probably best.  If you 
use a single file with multiple zones, you must make sure that the 
zones are far enough apart so that they do not cast shadows on each 
other.

Some objects require a schedule, some will default to "on" at all 
times.
