That sort of averaging window concept does exist in Energyplus for demand metering in the energy cost tariff calculations.
You can also create your own tables using Output:Table:TimeBins and Output:Table:Monthly that do some useful averaging (but not a sliding window)

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Problem with Peak results in Summary Reports: a suggestion
Sorry Jean but peak values in summary reports come from Simulation results, not sizing results. I know the option for load averaging but it is only available for sizing calculation so it does not solve the problem of simulation peak values in Summary Reports.
