I'm not sure anyone would ever want the sum of a temperature output. Maybe we can find a different probe to use as an example? Maybe something like unmet load hours?

I meant to do average.
I'll find a different probe.

Similar to above, I'm not sure if this is going to produce a meaningful output by adding something that has power dimensions (e.g., Btu/h). I can see where you might want to accumulate total window transmitted energy, but that would also require you to account for the subhour time step size.

I updated the probes. Let me know what you think. |
| REPORTCOL colHead="Total" colVal=@Accumulator[ 1].M.acmSum colDec=0 colWid=10 | ||
| REPORTCOL colHead="Average" colVal=@Accumulator[ 1].M.acmMean colDec=0 colWid=10 | ||
| ACCUMULATOR "Zone Sensible Cooling Rate [Btu/h]" | ||
| acmValue = @znRes[ 1].H.qscHvac // Hourly Output |

Is this the average Btu/h over the hour or the total Btu over the hour? The answer will impact the accuracy of the report values below.
| REPORTCOL colHead="Monthly Min Hourly Cooling Rate [Btu/h]" colVal=@Accumulator["Zone Sensible Cooling Rate [Btu/h]"].M.acmMin colDec=0 colWid=10 | ||

| ACCUMULATOR "Zone Solar Gain [Btu]" | ||
| acmValue = @znRes[ 1].S.qSlr // Subhourly Output |

Similar question here. I'm not sure you are using the correct units / interpretation here.
Description
I added two examples for how to use accumulators in the documentation.
