Output:Table:SummaryReports[LINK]
The Output:Table:SummaryReports
object controls which predefined tabular reports are produced.
The easiest option is to specify “AllSummary” which will
produce all of the summary reports described in this section
and does not include the Zone
Component Load report. In addition, “AllMonthly” will produce
all of the monthly reports described. If all predefined
reports are needed. “AllSummaryAndMonthly” shows all of the
summary and monthly predefined reports and does not include
the Zone

The Annual Building
Utility Performance Summary report often called ABUPS - (key:
AnnualBuildingUtilityPerformanceSummary) produces a report
that is an overall summary of the utility consumption of the
building. It contains a number of subtables that are each
described below.
- Site and Source Energy - Indicates the total site and
source energy use. For electricity the net electricity from
the utility is used for the electric contribution. The site to
source conversion factors are based on those entered by the
user. These are entered in the EnvironmentalImpactFactors
object and FuelFactors objects.
- Building Area - Shows the total floorspace of the building
and the conditioned floorspace.
- End Uses - This shows the total use of electricity,
natural gas, other fuels, purchased cooling, purchased heating
and water for each major end-use category. The end-use
categories are Heating, Cooling, Interior Lighting, Exterior
Lighting, Interior Equipment, Exterior Equipment, Fans, Pumps,
Heat Rejection, Humidification, Heat Recovery, Hot Water,
Refrigeration, and Generators. Not all fuels have
corresponding end uses. The values in this sub-table are from
output meters. To determine which components are attached to
each end-use meter, consult the meter details output file
(*.mtd). The source of the resource does not affect this table
- the amount of electricity used for lights does not change if
the electricity is from the utility or from an on-site
generator. The Other Fuel column includes fuel oil#1, fuel
oil#2, gasoline, coal, propane, diesel, otherfuel1 and
otherfuel2. The district heating column also includes
steam.

end uses by user-defined category. If an end-use subcategory
was not input for an object, it is automatically added to the
General subcategory for that major end-use category.
- Utility Use Per Floor Area - These two sub-tables show the
results from the end-uses table divided by the total floor
area defined for the building and for the total conditioned
floor area. Only three categories for end-uses are used for
these sub-tables, lighting, HVAC and other. HVAC includes
fans, pumps, heating, cooling, heat rejection, humidification,
and domestic hot water heating. The Other Fuel column includes
fuel oil#1, fuel oil#2, gasoline, coal, propane, diesel,

is compared to the total generated on site plus the net amount
from the electric utility. The percentages shown are based on
the total electricity used by the end-uses. Note that High
Temperature Geothermal and Wind Power are not yet implemented
in EnergyPlus.
- On-Site Thermal Sources - Shows the on-site thermal
sources of energy such as Water-Side Heat Recovery, Air to Air

that includes three tables. These tables display source energy
by fuel type that is calculated based on site to source energy
factors specified by the user in the EnvironmentalImpactFactors
and FuelFactors
objects. The last two tables display the source energy in
terms of area normalized metrics. Following is a description
of each table:
- Source Energy End Use Components - This shows the total
use of source electricity, source natural gas, source values
of other fuels, source purchased cooling and purchased heating
for each major end-use category. The end-use categories are
Heating, Cooling, Interior Lighting, Exterior Lighting,

separately when removing heat from the zone (for applicable
components). Finally the balance is shown as “Opaque Surface
Conduction and Other Heat Addition” and “Opaque Surface
Conduction and Other Heat Removal” which is a term indicating
the affect of the walls, floors and ceilings/roof to the zone
as well as the impact of the delay between heat gains/losses
and loads on the HVAC equipment serving the zone. The
following shows each output variable that is used for each
column. For each timestep in the simulation, positive values
are shown as additions and negative values are shown as
removal for most variables.

Opaque Surface Conduction and Other Heat Removal columns are
also calculated on an timestep basis as the negative value of
the other removal and gain columns so that the total for the
timestep sums to zero. These columns are derived strictly from
the other columns.
Zone Component Load
Summary[LINK]
The Zone
Component Loads Summary provides an estimate of the heating
and cooling peak loads for each zone broken down into various
components. This report may help determine which components of
the load have the largest impact for the heating and cooling
peak design conditions. When specified, the Zone
Component Loads Summary report is created for each zone that
is conditioned. The difference between the peak design
sensible load and the estimated instant + delayed sensible
load (as shown in the Peak Conditions subtable) is an
indication of how consistent the overall total estimate may be
to the computed total peak loads for the zone. When the report
is called the zone sizing calculations are repeated twice so
this may result in longer simulation times. The key used to
obtain this report is ZoneComponentLoadSummary. Since
including this report may increase the simulation time, new
key options have been added that will display all reports but
the Zone
Component Load Summary those keys used are
AllSummaryButZoneComponentLoad and
AllSummaryAndMonthlyButZoneComponentLoad.
The report has four parts:
- Estimated Cooling Peak Load Components
- Contains the sensible-instant, sensible-delay,
sensible-return air, latent, total and %grand total for
people, lights, equipment, refrigeration, water use equipment,
HVAC equipment loads, power generation equipment,

interzone ceiling, other roof, exterior wall, interzone wall,
ground contact wall, other wall, exterior floor, interzone
floor, ground contact floor, other floor, fenestration
conduction, fenestration solar, opaque door. The values in the
sensible-delay column are estimated using a procedure shown in
the Engineering Reference.
- Cooling Peak Conditions
- Contains the time of the peak load and the outside dry
bulb and wet bulb temperatures as well as the outside humidity
ratio for that time. It also shows the zone temperature and
relative humidity and humidity ratio for that time.

- Contains the sensible-instant, sensible-delay,
sensible-return air, latent, total and %grand total for
people, lights, equipment, refrigeration, water use equipment,
HVAC equipment loads, power generation equipment,

interzone ceiling, other roof, exterior wall, interzone wall,
ground contact wall, other wall, exterior floor, interzone
floor, ground contact floor, other floor, fenestration
conduction, fenestration solar, opaque door. The values in the
sensible-day column are estimated using a procedure shown in
the Engineering Reference.
- Heating Peak Conditions
- An intermediate calculation in the estimation of the
sensible-delayed colum is the decay curves that are shown in
the Radiant to Convective Decay Curve subtables. A
decay curve is created for each surface in the zone.

AllSummary, !- Report 1 Name
AllMonthly; !- Report 2 Name
Output:Table:SummaryReports[LINK]
The Output:Table:SummaryReports object controls which predefined tabular reports are produced. The easiest option is to specify “AllSummary” which will produce all of the summary reports described in this section and does not include the Zone Component Load report. In addition, “AllMonthly” will produce all of the monthly reports described. If all predefined reports are needed. “AllSummaryAndMonthly” shows all of the summary and monthly predefined reports and does not include the Zone Component Load report. The “AllSummaryAndSizingPeriod” option and “AllSummaryMonthlyAndSizingPeriod” option are similar and add the Zone Component Load report. Including the Zone Component Load Summary report may increase the simulation run time.

The Lighting Summary report (key: LightingSummary) produces a report that includes the following tables:
Equipment Summary[LINK]
The Equipment Summary report (key: EquipmentSummary) produces a report that includes some details on the major HVAC equipment present. The report has seven parts.
HVAC Sizing Summary[LINK]
The HVAC Sizing Summary report (key: HVACSizingSummary) produces a report that includes the following tables:
Component Sizing Summary[LINK]
The Component Sizing Summary report (key: ComponentSizingSummary) produces a report that includes different tables depending on the kinds of HVAC components that exist in the input file. A table is shown for each type of HVAC component that is sized. The table lists the objects of that type of component that appear in the input file and one or more parameters related to that component. For example, the AirTerminal:SingleDuct:VAV:Reheat component creates a table showing the maximum air flow rate from the sizing calculations and the maximum reheat water flow rate. Another example is the Fan:VariableVolume object which shows a table with both the maximum and minimum flow rates for each fan based on the results from the sizing calculations.
Outdoor Air Summary[LINK]
The Outdoor Air Summary report (key: OutdoorAirSummary) produces a report that includes the following tables:
System Summary[LINK]
The System Summary Report (key: SystemSummary) produces a report that includes the following tables:
Adaptive Comfort Summary[LINK]
The Adaptive Comfort Summary report (key: AdaptiveComfortSummary) produces a report tabulating the sum of occupied hours not meeting adaptive comfort acceptability limits for each relevant People object (People objects for which adaptive comfort calculations are requested). These acceptability limits include ASHRAE Std. 55 80%, ASHRAE Std. 55 90%, CEN-15251 Category I, CEN-15251 Category II, and CEN-15251 Category III.
Sensible Heat Gain Summary[LINK]
The Sensible Heat Gain Summary (key: SensibleHeatGainSummary) provides results for each zone and the overall building for some of the major heat gain components. The first four columns show the loads satisfied by sensible air heating and cooling as well as radiant heating and cooling surfaces in the zone. The heat gains from people, lighting, equipment, windows, interzone air flow, and infiltration are shown when adding heat to the zone and separately when removing heat from the zone (for applicable components). Finally the balance is shown as “Opaque Surface Conduction and Other Heat Addition” and “Opaque Surface Conduction and Other Heat Removal” which is a term indicating the affect of the walls, floors and ceilings/roof to the zone as well as the impact of the delay between heat gains/losses and loads on the HVAC equipment serving the zone. The following shows each output variable that is used for each column. For each timestep in the simulation, positive values are shown as additions and negative values are shown as removal for most variables.
Zone Air Heat Balance System Air Transfer Rate
Zone Air Heat Balance System Convective Heat Gain Rate
Zone Air Heat Balance System Air Transfer Rate
Zone Air Heat Balance System Convective Heat Gain Rate
Zone Radiant HVAC Heating Energy
Zone Ventilated Slab Radiant Heating Energy

Zone Steam Equipment Convective Heating Energy
Zone Hot Water Equipment Convective Heating Energy
Zone Other Equipment Convective Heating Energy
Zone Windows Total Heat Gain Energy
Zone Air Heat Balance Interzone Air Transfer Rate
Zone Air Heat Balance Outdoor Air Transfer Rate
The Opaque Surface Conduction and Other Heat Addition and Opaque Surface Conduction and Other Heat Removal columns are also calculated on an timestep basis as the negative value of the other removal and gain columns so that the total for the timestep sums to zero. These columns are derived strictly from the other columns.
Zone Component Load Summary[LINK]
The Zone Component Loads Summary provides an estimate of the heating and cooling peak loads for each zone broken down into various components. This report may help determine which components of the load have the largest impact for the heating and cooling peak design conditions. When specified, the Zone Component Loads Summary report is created for each zone that is conditioned. The difference between the peak design sensible load and the estimated instant + delayed sensible load (as shown in the Peak Conditions subtable) is an indication of how consistent the overall total estimate may be to the computed total peak loads for the zone. When the report is called the zone sizing calculations are repeated twice so this may result in longer simulation times. The key used to obtain this report is ZoneComponentLoadSummary. Since including this report may increase the simulation time, new key options have been added that will display all reports but the Zone Component Load Summary those keys used are AllSummaryButZoneComponentLoad and AllSummaryAndMonthlyButZoneComponentLoad.
The report has four parts:
Standard 62.1 Summary[LINK]
The Standard 62.1 Summary (key: Standard62.1Summary) produces a report that is consistent with many of the outputs needed when doing calculations consistent with ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2010. The report is generated when sizing calculations are specified. The abbreviations used in the report are consistent with the abbreviations used in Appendix A4 of the Standard. The following tables are part of the report:
Energy Meters Summary[LINK]
The Energy Meters Summary (key: EnergyMeters) (which is a slight misnomer as some meters may not be strictly energy) provides the annual period (runperiod) results for each meter (reference the meter data dictionary file (.mdd) and/or the meter details file (.mtd). The results are broken out by fuel type (resource type) in this report.
Predefined Monthly Summary Reports[LINK]
The predefined monthly report options are shown below. The key name of the predefined monthly report is all that is needed to have that report appear in the tabular output file. After each report name below are the output variables and aggregation types used. These cannot be modified when using the predefined reports but if changes are desired, a Output:Table:Monthly can be used instead. The StandardReports.idf file in the DataSets directory includes a Output:Table:Monthly that exactly corresponds to the predefined monthly reports shown below. They can be copied into an IDF file and extended if additional variables are desired. A listing of each available key for predefined monthly summary reports follows with a discrption of the variables included.
