Regarding the miscellaneous equipment leave eQUEST default as shown in screen shot 3 , otherwise if you enter the value by yourself it should be same in baseline & proposed.

However I have realized that, the exterior lighting load (w/sf) input in the Wizard mode is multiplied by the building area (all floors) and becomes a direct kW load on the electric meter. This directly resulted in very high numbers for the exterior usage in the simulation results. This is erroneous in my case and I have figured out a way to correct it by calculating the actual exterior load figure and assigning it to the electric meter and updating it with a necessary schedule. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;line-height:150%'>I was wondering if the software considers a similar analogy for calculating the area lights and the miscellaneous equipment figures in the simulation results as it does for the exterior usage.
