For example, say there are a number of offices and conference rooms in the proposed building that will have occupancy sensor controls. This should be simulated by inputting the LPD or actual connected load, and creating a schedule with a 10% - 15% reduction for each hour of operation per Table G3.2. In the LEED baseline model, the schedule for the offices would be not have the occupancy sensor reduction, but the conference room and other spaces required by 90.1 to have occupancy sensor control would use the reduced schedule.
