Electric light output not accounting for zone multipliers

Hi, everyone!

I'm using zone multipliers to simulate a large office building. For some of the floors, I've adopted zone multipliers to simplify my simulation; they are stated on the zone summary on the html output report, so that seems to be accounted for. However, when I check the output for electric light energy use (and electric equipment too), zones in the floors where I have multipliers have the same energy use as the same zone in a floor where the multiplier is 1. Does anyone know why multipliers are not accounted for here? Is there a way to get the total energy use as an output, including multipliers?

Thank you!
