Clarification of EnergyPlus OtherEquipment Impact on HVAC Loads

Hello,

I'm a bit confused regarding the wording EnergyPlus's description of OtherEquipment. The part that confuses me is:

"Note, too, that this object does not have an end-use component - gains or losses do not show up in the bottom energy lines (except as influencing overall zone gains or losses)."

Does this mean that it will only affect the overall zone gains and losses in the output with no impact to HVAC loads (energy use) or will the affect on zone balance then eventuall affect HVAC loads for the respective zone?

Thank you, Justin
