    2. Run the view “report energy use at various aggregations”
      • Choose option 2 (Run interactively asking questions)
      • Accept default values for all questions except:
        • For “Which result do you you want to see?”, choose option 3 (energy custom with end uses)
        • For “How do you wish to handle fuel types?”, choose option 1 (Roll fuel types together)
      • View data for aggSubSectorsEnr=Commercial, aggStationaryEndUse=Space_Cooling, time=2050
