[BLDG-SIM] Residential Internal Gains in IECC 2006

[Mike Tillou]

Does anyone know the history of the internal gain equation that is included in Table 404.5.2 in Section 404 (Residential Performance Approach) of IECC 2006.  

Using it a 3 bedroom 2,000 square foot house would have a total daily internal gain of 77,812 BTU which would be equivalent to 22.8 kWh a day (assuming its all electric).  I am just trying to get a sense of how reasonable this number is.  I do realize it is supposed to represent all internal gains including lighting.   

Thanks in advance for any help.
