Misc/Plug loads in Beopt
Been modeling in BEopt for a bit now and am wondering what other people use for their plug loads and what a realistic miscellaneous load looks like in an multifamily unit or even single family home. I am asking because the Misc loads in BEopt always rivals HVAC and DHW consumption. Currently using 1.0 plug load. I know they account for a lot of different loads in a home but the amount of electrical consumption seems extremely high. I know this can vary from person to person but I'd like to know if this is accurate or not. Any info or links to studies would be helpful! Thank you!
