    Question Revit 2011 not using Power Factor Parameter in calculations?

    Basically I have a section of a Space Schedule that shows:

    "Actual Lighting (Lighting Load Classification) Load"
    "Actual Lighting Load"
    and "Actual Lighting Load per Area"

    The only difference between the "Acutal Lighting (Lighting Load Classification) Load" Parameter and "Actual Lighting Load" Parameter is that the "Actual Lighting Load" is in Watts.

    In Revit MEP 2010 the "Actual Lighting Load" field would incorporate the "Power Factor" Parameter of the Light Fixture into calculating the Wattage. I've made the same schedule in 2010 and the "Power Factor" Parameter is used with the "Apparent Power" to give you the "Actual Lighting Load" in Watts. When I open the exact same file into 2011, it upgrades the file and then ignores the "Power Factor" Parameter in the Space Schedule.

    Any idea why 2011 doesn't seem to use the "Power Factor"?

    The panel properties only shows apparent load now as well. Didn't it used to show real load at one point in time?
