Output reporting does not have to be hourly. Can be the
timestep, monthly, daily, etc.
Also, you should look at the tabular
reporting, especially the Time bins report.
Read through the sections
titled "Output" and "Standard Reports" in the Input Output
Reference.
and always:
EnergyPlus Documentation is
searchable. Open EPlusMainMenu.pdf under the Documentation link and
press the "search" button.

I am modeling large
industrial facilities with large process loads, and have recently used
EnergyPlus and OpenStudio to model the facilities to determine the external
load factors.
I then
set up a spread sheet model using ASHRAE bin numbers to provide an analysis
that can be reviewed by others for basic content etc.
Since the EnergyPlus output is hourly,
it requires significant manipulation to sort out all of the numbers and
match to the ASHRAE bin. It is doubly difficult if I want to obtain
results for day vs night and weekend vs weekday.
Am I overlooking an output set up that
would help to make this part easier / quicker?
