Parametric / Optimization in DesignBuilder with Heating/Cooling capacity as output

Is it possible to do a parametric or optimization analysis of only the heating design or cooling design calculation methods? Or is is possible to have as an output the required heating and cooling capacity of the HVAC system and not just the total yearly consumption? In the output list I can only find Heating load, Cooling load and Cooling energy (what is the different here?). If I can do a similar analysis on both energy consumption (kWh) and energy load requirement (kW) I will save quite a lot of time in my early design stage.
