I tried to replicate Load (for each hour) for Cooling Design Day using:
Load = Zone (Solar Gain + Lighting Gain + Infiltration Ventilation Gain + Air Movement Gain + Building Heat Transfer + External Conduction Opaque + External Conduction Glazing + Occupant Sensible Gain + Equipment Sensible Gain) [W]

Zone (Lighting Gain + Occupant Sensible Gain + Equipment Sensible Gain) = includes both radiant and convective portions

If you want to go to Surface Level then sum (in Tas this are all Building Elements including Windows, Doors and frames):
Zone (Building Heat Transfer + External Conduction Opaque + External Conduction Glazing) = Sum all Surface (Internal Conduction + Qair)

Qair (Heat released into the zone which has been temporarily stored in the air (positive when the dyr air buld temperature is falling, negative when it is rising)

Qair = (densityAir * Volume * specificHeatCapacity)( dTair)/(timestep) [W]

Qair = (1.21* Volume * 1012)( dTair)/(3600) [W]

Zone (Solar Gain) = Sum all Surface (Internal Solar Gain) [W]
