Electric meters & loads

DOE2-2ers,

I have read the ELEC-METER pages of the DOE2-2 dictionary and just don't
see how to assign the various electrical loads from my building to the
meters. It mentions "INTERIOR-POWER", "INTERIOR-SCH", "INTERIOR-EU",
"EXTERIOR-POWER", "EXTERIOR-SCH", and "EXTERIOR-EU", but offers no
clarifying examples. Furthermore, "INTERIOR-POWER" and "EXTERIOR-POWER" are
described as accepting "...a list of up to 10 values of hourly electrical
energy consumed by miscellaneous uses... ...that do not show up anywhere
else." Clear as mud.
Electrically-powered HVAC systems exist. Electrically-powered DHW
systems exist. Various lighting systems will be defined and assigned to
spaces. Exterior lighting systems will be defined. I just want to asssign
these electrical loads to their proper meters.
Does anybody know how to do this? Does anyone have an excerpt from a
.inp file that can serve as a clarifying example?
Thanks.
