[Equest-users] Appendix G saving calculation

[Bruce Easterbrook]

I think you need to revisit your load categories.  Your percentage of 
lighting load looks low.  Remember lighting is not just an electrical 
load there is also a heat load associated with lights as well.  High 
efficiency lighting is normally a very effective upgrade and easy points.
