On the Tree View, click on the '+' symbol which is on the left side of the "Simulation Data" link, and then click on "Performance Summary". The screen on the right will have a data table with maximum and minimum values for temperatures, humidities, and loads found during the dynamic simulation.
Along the top of the table will be column headers for VALUE, UNIT, ZONE, DAY, and HOUR.
Value
The highest or lowest value that the parameter reached during the simulated period.
Unit
The unit of measurement with respect to the reported value.
Zone
The name of the zone in which the highest or lowest value occurred. For external parameters, the value attributed to 'Zone' will always be 'External'. Where the Value parameter is found to be '0', the Zone value will be left blank.
Day
The numerical representation for the day of the year on which the maximum or minimum occurred
Hour
The numerical representation for the hour of the day on which the maximum or minimum occurred. Hour 1 is defined as being between midnight and 1am, hour 2 will be between 1am and 2am, etc.
