[Equest-users] Occupant Gains

I am new to eQuest, but familiar with other energy simulation programs (i.e. TAS). I'm trying to figure out how to appropriate correct occupant gains into each zone. I started my model (7 shell mixed use office bldg) through the DD wizard. I entered the different activity areas for each shell and thought this would transfer to the detailed interface. Once I am in the detailed interface and view each zone's property the various activities I originally chose are not accurately distributed. For instance, the first shell, which has 10 zones, was broken up into 5 different types of activities in the wizard. Once I enter the detailed interface every zone was lumped under one type of activity.

Two questions:


1)      Why did the wizard input values not transfer to the detailed interface?

2)      If I manually change each zone's occupant gains in the detailed interface, how do I determine the appropriate latent and sensible gains?  Should I look to ASHRAE for these values?


Thanks.
