--Hello All,I have two identical case studies with identical assumptions for everything. I just set people, lights, and electric equipment loads to zero. Let us call this case as Case #2. For Case #1, I used default people, lights, and electric equipment assumptions.Annual total heating energy use is higher in Case #2 than Case #1, which makes sense.But, peak heating load in Case #2 is lower than Case #1.Why peak load of Case #2 is lower than Case #1 while total heating energy use of Case #2 is higher than Case #1?Thanks for your help.
