[Equest-users] Equipment Load

Thank you Nick. Yes, after trying different ways, I realized that fill “
Input Power” is better than per area. I assumed 20% of the input power
would be converted to heat gain. And 80% for sensible, 20% for latent. In
that case, the fraction I filled in the eQuest was 0.16 for sensible HG and
0.04 for Latent HG. Does that make sense?
