EnergyPlus can generate these hourly output variables, but it won't tell you specifics like peak-hour values. Sounds like you need to set up a script using Python, Ruby, or something similar to do multiple steps:
- Read the hourly output variables that you're generating in the output CSV file created by EnergyPlus
- Find the peak-hour glass load (peak-hour for the whole year, each day, or something else?)
- Calculate the average glass load (average load for the whole year, each day, or something else?)
- Calculate the AED (is peak-hour glass load > (average glass load x 1.3) ?)
