Simulation Output¶
Default annual simulation outputs include energy consumptions (total, by fuel, and by end use), hot water uses, building loads, unmet hours, and peak building electricity/loads.
See the OpenStudio-HPXML Workflow Outputs section on Annual Outputs for more information about annual outputs.
