CS-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performance

Electric meters for interior lighting and receptable loads

Hi, In a Core and Shell model, for EAp2 (eQUEST), a LEED reviewer told me to define lighting and receptable loads meters. We have already defined the interior lighting in every space, so my doubt is if I define a sub-meter for this lighting consumption (with its power and schedule), we are counting it twice? How can I link a sub-meter to an already defined lighting. Nearly the same for the receptable loads. Thank you in advance!

You would not count it twice. First you create the sub-meter. Then assign it to a main meter. Within the thermal zone parameter box (air-side HVAC tab) or within the spreadsheet view you can then assign the load to the submeter.

Thank you Marcus, It works!
