Part L: Lighting Parasitic Power on Building Level

[RossThompson87]

Hi,

As the lighting parasitic power is independent of the lighting profile, why does it need to be applied on the zone level?

Why can't the entire power be entered under 'set building and system' data'?

For large buildings it can take hours working out how many sensors are in each room. But if you know how many of each sensor are going to be installed the total power can be worked out in seconds.

Looking back, this is possibly a bad idea.

As the parasitic power effects the heat gain in the space.

Heating and cooling loads may be affected
