@mikemorris thanks for pointing that out. I looked at the code, and non-default multipliers were not handled on that table plug loads per area, per person or design level. Below is a link to fix that I'll push to BCL once OpenStudio 3.1 is released. I did inspect the space lighting detail table, and it didn't have the same issue. https://github.com/NREL/openstudio-common-measures-gem/commit/a528d3ee0775185fcdd34cb406a3dcf6584b48f3#diff-608827bb2846099731dc79ba13c89c59L3464-L3485

Just to clarify a bit. I believe that your simulations were correct, and that this was just an issue with that table. The load column was giving the instance load, which included the multiplier, when it should have been giving the definition load level.
