[Equest-users] Occupant Gains

[Carol Gardner]

I'm not sure how eQUEST distributes the activity areas it creates in the
Wizard but I do know it's something I don't spend a lot of time on if I have
the info myself. It's more for if you don't know.

When you are in DD edit add the info on the appropriate internal gains page,
an yes, ASHRAE is a good source for this info.

Regards,
Carol
