<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""><font size=2>Does anyone know
the history of the internal gain equation that is included in Table
404.5.2 in Section 404 (Residential Performance Approach) of IECC
2006. <br>

<font size=2>Using it a 3 bedroom 2,000 square foot house would have a
total daily internal gain of 77,812 BTU which would be equivalent to 22.8
kWh a day (assuming its all electric). I am just trying to get a
sense of how reasonable this number is. I do realize it is supposed
to represent all internal gains including lighting. <br>
