<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>When modeling energy use in a residential high-rise I set up
schedules for misc. loads like refrigerator, microwave, oven washer/dryer etc..
I actually lumped these all into 1 schedule, approximated their actual loads
and then applied a daily and weekend schedule to approximate their use.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My schedules showed pretty low percentages since these
appliances would not be used much.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I received comments from the client and another modeler that
these loads are inconsequential and should not be incorporated into the model.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Here is the comment<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Plug-ins
are typically assumed to be the copiers, medical equipment, etc and I would
think refrigerators, microwaves because how do we really measure the use of
such things in a current comprehensive computer modeling situation –
it’s beyond a scope of comparison in a finite way - that’s
why MISC should be junked.<o:p></o:p></span></u></i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any opinions?<o:p></o:p></p>
