Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] E+ Lights Object: Fixture spec.

["Jim Dirkes jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not quite sure what you're trying to do, but E+ doesn't concern itself with lighting fixtures, just watts and usage.

For example, if you have a 4 tube 40 watts / tube fluorescent light fixture, you must use about 4 * 40 * 1.25 watts per fixture so as to include ballast energy.  Other fixtures may not have a ballast, etc.  E+ doesn't know or care.

Not to my knowledge. You could check the Lights object fields available in your .idd file, to see if any reference an external fixture object.

Does anyone know EnergyPlus can specify a lighting fixture object to be referenced by the Lights object?

Thx
