Exporting Building data from open Building energy simulator to excel.

Question

I would like to export the surface information / wall windows doors floor area into excel so that I can manipulate the data to download onto one-click LCA. 
 I would like to export dynamic simulation resua\lts for CIBse overheating reports and use a variety of post modeling data analyses. such AS PMV and occurrence of overheating. 
 How do I export building data? is there tutorial. when the software was demo a SQL interface was shown. is there an SQL interface plugin for open building energy simulation?

Hi Adrian, 
 Your query is actually quite pertinent as I understand potential LCA analysis features are being explored by product management at the moment. For now you should still be able to get a good deal of what you require: 
 
 "export the surface information / wall windows doors floor area into excel so that I can manipulate the data to download onto one-click LCA." Please see guidance on the reports available to achieve this at: Reviewing Building Data Input - OpenBuildings | AECOsim | Speedikon Wiki - OpenBuildings | AECOsim | Speedikon - Bentley Communities 
 "export dynamic simulation results" All of the EnergyPlus output files that are generated when running a simulation can be found within your Workset, please see link below. Also please note additional reporting in the Temperature Frequency Simulation to add specific TM52 reports is planned for update 10. IDF file creation - OpenBuildings | AECOsim | Speedikon Wiki - OpenBuildings | AECOsim | Speedikon - Bentley Communities 
 "How do I export building data?" Exporting the EnergyPlus files above includes the IDF and so on, which should allow you to proceed in EnergyPlus if desired, or you can export to GBXML as below:
