Accurately Assigning Space Types in OpenStudio

Hello,

I was wondering what the significance is of accurately assigning space types in OpenStudio. Do the built in space types assign different loads (such as people, lighting equipment, interior electrical equipment, etc.)

The reason I ask is because the default space types seems very limited. In my model I have a gym, parking lot, mailroom, etc. The library does not have comparable space types in which I could use. In this case do I have to manually assign my loads?
