<p class="MsoNormal">Hey all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve created my proposed model, did a “save as” and created my baseline model, and changed all of the HVAC systems etc. to the required 90.1 standards. I ran the simulations and exported the LEED report and noticed my receptacle loads
aren’t the same—the baseline is 12% higher than the proposed. I’ve compared schedules, equipment loads, and square footages, and they are identical in both the proposed and baseline models. Is there something else I should be looking at?

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your help!<o:p></o:p></p>
