[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Chiller:Electric- Sizing Factor value less than 1

["rajeevkamal@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the user docs it says that the sizing factor effects the

'For this component the inputs that would be altered by the sizing factor are: Nominal Capacity, Nominal Pumping Power, Design Chilled Water Flow Rate, Design Condenser Water Flow Rate and Design Generator Fluid Flow Rate. Sizing factor allows the user to size a component to meet part of the design load while continuing to use the autosizing feature.'

In my case, I have two chillers and right now set to the sizing factor of 0.2. According to your suggestion, this should be set to 0.5. 

Will the Nominal capacity reported in results for chillers be different?

What's the industry practice?
