<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=912032100-30012008><FONT face=Arial
size=2>Most simulation programs assume that the building is heated up/cooled
down within the first hour of plant operation. This leads to high
predicted loads during that first hour that would not occur in reality.
(in cold climates a 2 hour warm-up on Monday morning is not
unusual)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=912032100-30012008><FONT face=Arial
size=2>So, it may be useful to filter out the first hour loads, and then examine
the distribution of the remaining loads to pick off the 97.5%
value.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
