Dear all,

I have a query about assigning the area light values and miscellaneous
equipment values in eQuest.

While assigning the area lights, exterior loads and miscellaneous equipment
loads; I input the necessary power densities in the wizard mode. However I
have realized that, the exterior lighting load (w/sf) input in the Wizard
mode is multiplied by the building area (all floors) and becomes a direct kW
load on the electric meter. This directly resulted in very high numbers for
the exterior usage in the simulation results. This is erroneous in my case
and I have figured out a way to correct it by calculating the actual
exterior load figure and assigning it to the electric meter and updating it
with a necessary schedule.

I was wondering if the software considers a similar analogy for calculating
the area lights and the miscellaneous equipment figures in the simulation
results as it does for the exterior usage. If that is so, i am sure my
results are way too wrong or over board. what would be correct way/s to
input the area light and miscellaneous equipment figures.

Thanks for your time in anticipation.
