[Bldg-sim] NZEB Plug Load Consumption

[Kjell Anderson via Bldg-sim]

Ben,
For a project that LMN designed (Stone34 in Seattle), the team measured
existing plug loads at the tenant's previous space to inform the expected
use in the new space. I believe this has been done on other projects (such
as the West Berkeley Library) and forms a good baseline for a schedule. The
lease for Stone34 was set up with a cap in part based on the existing
measurements.
