COND ITIONS or SPACE ins truction. Th is includes process equi pment andprocess util ities. If any loads are omitted, the HVAC equipment may beproperly sized but the PLANT equipment will probably be undersized.Do not, however, include the HVAC equipment items (fans, coils, etc.)because they are addressed separately by the program. Also, do notinclude building level loads such as domestic hot water, el.evators, etc.because these loads are not associated with any particular SPACE butrather are associated with the entire buil ding - see instead theBUILDING-RESOURCE instruction.The user should pay close attention to the specifying of SCHEDULEs. Itcannot be over emphasized how important this is. All the SCHEDULEsassociated with SPACE-CONDITIONS, except INF-SCHEDULE, default to the"off" mode of operation. This means that even though the maximum outputof the equipment, lights, etc. has been specified, the equipment andlights will not be turned "on", unless the user speclfles thlS mode ofoperation in the SCHEDULEs. Naturally, if the user fails to turn theequlpment and lights "on", the sirulation will be faulty. The user shouldalso remember that once the equipment is turned "on", it will not beturned "off", unless the user so specifies in the SCHEDULEs.U-nameSPACE-CONDITIONSLIKETEMPERATUREPEOPLE-SCHEDULENUMBER-OF-PEOPLEPEOPLE-HEAT-GAINmust be specified for this instruction.tells LOADS that the data to follow specify the temperature,floor weight, zone type, infiltration, and internalloads of a space.may be used to copy data from a prev ious ly U-named SPACE­CONDITIONS instruction.is to be used to specify the space air temperature to beused in the LOADS simulation.
