Results Processing[LINK]

Results from EnergyPlus (using EP-Launch) appear in several possible formats. The most basic are the csv files for the time oriented output and the meter output. These will appear as <filename>.csv and <filename>Meter.csv. These can be quite detailed files (ref: Output:Variable, Output:Meter commands). Other formats (such as Tabular outputs) can yield more summarized results. These files and contents are described in more detail in the “Output Details and Examples” document.
