OpenStudio Results [closed]

Is there any reason why results in the OpenStudio Results tab for monthly electricity consumption is different than what the .idf file outputs? I am asking because I have a model that I need to make some additions/changes to in EnergyPlus and was trying to determine what outputs variables make up the corresponding OpenStudio Electricity Consumption values.

I have 5 categories for the electricity consumption breakdown (Heating, Cooling, Interior Lighting, Interior Equipment, and Fans) and I can easily find the outputs variables that make up all but the heating. In my model the only 2 items that should make up the heating are the electric heating coils in the CV Fan Units and the baseboard heaters. When I output the following 2 variables (Zone Unit Heater Heating Energy and Baseboard Electric Energy) and sum the values up and convert to kWh there is a difference (the E+ output is slightly greater in all months, and not by the same amount). If anyone has any insight let me know.

Figured it out, was looking at the wrong energy for the unit heaters, had to output the heating coil electric energy.
