How do I get reports?

I have set up fairly simple simulations, using as many defaults as possible.
Then I run the simulations and go to "Project & Site", but no summaries are
available in the simulation output folder. I have results, but no reports.
Do I need to change a setting in each properties dialog or what?

Trying to fill out the LEED 1.4 table & to find out what the actual capacity
of my auto-sized heating is, but there are also many other items in that
table I need to find - hoping when I learn how reports are generated and
viewed, I can find it all and report it to LEED.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

When you run the simulation, a window should pop up with three buttons
that say "return to input building description" or "view summary
results/reports" or "view detailed simulation output file." The first
option returns you to the model, the second shows you a bar graph with
electricity usage, and the third shows you the couple thousand page
report that you're probably looking for.

Doi - thanks

I see also .csv files are generated in the project folder so I'll check
those out as well.

Anybody have an example of a LEED section 1.4 table that USGBC accepted by
any chance?

I also see now there are 2 tabs in results viewing mode in the project
browser. One is "Reports" and gives me individual charts or spreadsheets.

On a related note, I remember a question about running baseline & proposed
in the same model. Originally, I was thinking the similarly to the answer
that was given - there has to be 2 models, but I just set up a model with 2
HVAC systems (1 geothermal to cover perimeter & 1 PSZ to cover the one core
zone that is actually gas & electric heat, but 90.1G seems to tell me to
assign PSZ).

First in the building wizard, I assigned these systems as described above.
Then, while in the EEM run wizard, I created a new run and called it "Whole
Building EEM Baseline". I went to the run details of that one and deleted
the geothermal systems and assigned the PSZ to all zones. Went back into
the first Whole Building EEM & the geothermal was still there assigned to
perimeter zones so long story short, I think I am running a "baseline case"
& a proposed in the same model.

Some of the reports show a case just called "baseline" as well, but I'm
thinking I can ignore that one so I can get the results I need side-by-side.

Hope this can help someone.
