Hey all,
On screen 23 of the DD wizard, the Exterior Lighting Load is to be entered in units of Watts per square foot, but what area is the square footage referencing-outdoor area or indoor area or...? Also, I have a three story building where the two upper floors have a smaller footprint than the first and thus I have to create partial roofs; I am trying to do it in detailed edit mode per somebody's suggestion, but the "Height" and "Width" fields have a gray "n/a" in them and numbers can't be entered... am I going about creating roofs incorrectly? Thanks,
-Dan

Dan-
To change the roof manually, you will need to edit the polygon it
references. I would recommend making a copy of the polygon and change the
dimensions in there. Then re-reference your roof polygon to the newly
created one.
To add exterior lighting, I always input it in terms of kW and not W/ft2.
To do this, you need to input it as a "direct load" in your electric meter.
There is a box for "exterior direct loads" and you can input the kW and
assign an exterior lighting schedule there. I would also assign the enduse
as "exterior usage."
Both of these are down outside of the wizard. Good luck.
