[Bldg-sim] eQuest/DOE2 instantaneous loads

[James Lo]

John,

Thanks for the info, but the procedure you described IS what we have 
been doing. The loads from the report you showed do NOT vary when 
occupancy and set point change, hence the problem. These loads only 
change (from LOADS described from others) when building geometry, 
materials and other building envelope parameters change.

hopefully I am making sense...

thanks

- James
