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

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 manipul! ation 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?
