The smallest simulation timestep in e+ is 1 minute (60/60). We usually simulate roughly until the simulation is running well and correctly at a longer timestep like 15 min (60/4). When everything is ready we simulate at a smaller timestep if the model requires it. I use this small timestep for modelling human-window interactions.
Coming back to loads...these are defined in schedules. You'll be stuck using minute-wise sums and averages.
What is your application?

Is there any way internal load changes within seconds can be captured in E+?
