<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">In a project we are working on, the design receptacle load is 0.75 W/sf, not the default value of 1.7 W/sf. I was wondering if there was any way to change this. The DOE-2 help file says that "Receptacle loads are automatically assigned by the rules processor regardless of values input by the user in the wizard, detailed interface or BDL input file. All user input values are ignored by the rules processor." Is this true? Is there any way around this?</FONT></P>
