    <p>Yongqing is correct.  This kind of information is not available
      in any of the hourly reports, but it can be calculated although
      depending on the complexity of the building it might almost feel
      like you're writing a small loads calculation program :-)  <br>
    </p>
    <p>I worked with a Research Associate (Ellen Franconi, now at the
      Rocky Mountain Institute) to do this using FUNCTIONs in DOE-2.1E,
      but since FUNCTIONS are not invoked in DOE-2.2/eQUEST, you'd have
      to write out hourly reports for the LOADS loads for each exterior
      surface and then adjust the loads for the difference between the
      constant LOADS temperature and the actual zone temperature in
      SYSTEMS using a simple UA delta T correction, i.e., Loads
      Correction = (UA of surface)*(Tsystem - Tloads).  You can get the
      U-value and area of each surface from the LDS verification
      report.  For infiltration, instead of a UA use the air volume
      times its specific heat.  Once you've done all this, you will have
      the actual heat flows to the building, but these will not
      correspond to the SYSTEM Loads because of the temperature
      deadband. After trying various approaches, Ellen and I found the
      best to be aggregating the heat flows when the system is off, and
      then dumping it to either heating or cooling depending on the
      system mode when it starts up again.  Don't expect complete
      correspondence with the System Load, but generally we were getting
      within 5-10%.<br>
