Creating a Load Classification

Use the Load Classifications dialog to manage your load classifications and assign demand factors to them.

  1. Click Manage tabSettings panelMEP Settings drop-down Load Classifications.
  2. In the Load Classifications dialog, specify the load classification type, using one of the following methods:
    • From the left pane, select an existing type.
    • Click to add a new load classification type.
    • Click to copy an existing type.
    • Click to rename a load classification selected from the list.

    Click to delete load classifications that are not assigned to connectors in the project.

    Pressing Enter closes the Load Classifications dialog.

  3. Specify the demand factor to assign to the load classification. Select a type from the drop-down or click to access the Demand Factors dialog.

    In the Demand Factors dialog, create a demand factor type. Then click OK.

  4. Specify the load class for use with spaces. The options are Lighting, Power, and None. (New load classifications default to None.)

    These classes are used to display sums on spaces and to export data to gbXML.

  5. Click OK.
  6. The Load Classification type displays in the list.
