The best way to do this is to input the elevator electrical load as an interior load in the Utilty and Economics tab of the Detailed Edit mode of eQUEST. Under this tab, double click on the electric meter, probably labeled EM1. In this screen, click on the Direct Loads tab and input your elevators under the Interior Direct Loads table. After entering a kW rating for your elevator (most likely the BHP of the elevator motor), it will prompt you to input a schedule. eQUEST has several library elevator schedules that can be accessed by choosing "library" in the schedule pull-down menu. Good luck and let me know if you have any trouble.<BR>
