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
