Cooling & Heating Component Breakdown with OpenStudio/EnergyPlus
Is there any easy way to get a breakdown of the monthly cumulative heating and cooling heat transfer gains/losses (in terms of kWh) from the exterior wall, roof, and floor components per zone? The only way which I can envision doing so right now is to find the surfaces of interest, then use the "Surface Average Face Conduction Heat Transfer Energy" output variable and lump the surfaces by type. Ultimately, what I am interested in is a breakdown of heating and cooling heat transfer into the components shown below, reported on a monthly basis.
Window Heat Gain/Loss, Wall Heat Gain/Loss, Roof Heat, Floor Heat Gain/Loss, Internal Heat Gain/Loss, Infiltration Heat Gain/Loss, Ventilation Heat Gain/Loss
Thank you in advance for any insight that you can lend!

Cooling & Heating Load Component Breakdown with OpenStudio/EnergyPlus
Is there any easy way to get a breakdown of the monthly cumulative heating and cooling heat transfer gains/losses (in terms of kWh) loads from the exterior wall, roof, and floor components per zone? The only way which I can envision doing so right now is to find the surfaces of interest, then use the "Surface Average Face Conduction Heat Transfer Energy" output variable and lump the surfaces by type. Ultimately, what I am interested in is a load breakdown of for heating and cooling heat transfer into the components shown below, reported adding up to the total zone load which I would like on a monthly basis.
Total Zone Load =
Window Heat Gain/Loss, Load
+ Wall Heat Gain/Loss, Load
+ Roof Heat, Load
+ Floor Heat Gain/Loss, Load
+ Internal Heat Gain/Loss, Infiltration Heat Gain/Loss, Loads
+ Infiltration
+ Ventilation Heat Gain/Loss
