I have two questions about autosize equipment sizing:
If I look at ___Zsz.csv I get a design day size for the zone. When I look at the .HTML sizing report I get a calculated design load and a larger user design load. The two design days are the same (within rounding). Is the larger user design (safety factor) what is actually used for the simulation?
In either report, when I use a zone multiplier, should I divide the value by the multiplier to get the equipment size for the zone? And the corollary, If I enter equipment sizes for a zone with multiplier, should I multiply my equipment size by the multiplier?
Thanks in advance?
