[EnergyPlus_Support] User Design Load

["sm278424" <shaunmartin@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

In my model I am using HVACTemplate:Zone:WaterToAirHeatPump, and have autosized the cooling and heating coil rated capacity.

The "Zone Heating" output report states that my 

Calculated Design Load [W] = 14,903 W   (which is about right)

  and 

User Design Load [W] = 208,084 W   (which is about 186 kW too high)

Because the program seems to use the "User Design Load" for total heating load on the plant, can you please tell me where this number is entered in the input file or how I control its calculation. 

The documentation is mute on this.

Thanks,
Shaun Martin
