What the rdd gives you is the format of the object in IDF format:
Output:Variable,
*, ! key
Zone Air Terminal Outdoor Air Volume Flow Rate, ! Variable name
hourly; ! Reporting frequency
!- HVAC Average [m3/s] => an informative comment
If you put timestep = detailed, you’ll get *at least* 6 readings per hour, of the actual m3/s at each hvac iteration (that’s what the “Hvac” in the comment above means, as opposed to “zone”)
If you put hourly, you’ll get one reading per hour, and as the comment tells you, it’ll give you the average of each reading in that hour (as opposed to “Sum”)
