There is a method in openstudio-standards-gem named space_type_apply_internal_loads. This is used in our Space Type from Construction Set Wizard. That measure now uses code in the openstudio-extension-gem which also ships with OpenStudio along side the standards gem.

The extension gem calls the method under a wizard method

Not that for this to work on a space type, you need to first tag the space type so the gem recognized the intended building type and space type and the target standard. That is done here right after the space type is made

space_type_apply_internal_loads adds internal loads but not the schedules, shortly after the prior method space_type_apply_internal_load_schedules is called, which adds the schedules.
https://github.com/NREL/openstudio-extension-gem/blob/develop/lib/openstudio/extension/core/os_lib_model_generation.rb#L3154

Both methods have a series of bools allowing you to control what types of interior loads this is applied to. This gives you the ability to selectively apply loads and schedules. You could for example not touch plug loads, use 90.1 2004 for other loads, but 2013 for lighting.
