In a project we are working on, the design receptacle load is 0.75 W/sf,
not the default value of 1.7 W/sf. I was wondering if there was any way
to change this. The DOE-2 help file says that "Receptacle loads are
automatically assigned by the rules processor regardless of values input
by the user in the wizard, detailed interface or BDL input file. All
user input values are ignored by the rules processor." Is this true? Is
there any way around this?
Thanks!

Rebecca:
The only time there is a "Rules processor" is when you are running a California Title-24 compliance model.
You can change any value in the Detailed Edit mode as you wish. You just cannot go back to the Wizard, as the value will revert back to the Wizard assigned value.
