"Actual Lighting Load" Schedule

[wags5116]

This parameter does not seem to be working properly. Ive gotten the Average Estimated Illuminance to work correctly but the Actual Lighting Load does not populate the schedule. The panel schedule is calculating the load correctly. My space extent is going 2' above the ceiling. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Can you please verify that the setting “Run calculations for loads in spaces” is checked? (The setting can be found in the Electrical Settings dialog > Load Calculations section)

This is one of my favorites...

Make sure you are using the correct "Actual Lighting Load" parameter. One is a load classification, the other is the collective group of load classifications that are designated as "Lighting" in the "Select the load class for use with spaces" option.

Two different parameters. Same name. Both out-of-the-box. Brilliant, Autodesk. Absolutely brilliant.

My fixtures were under Lighting-Residential if you place them under load catergory Of just "Lighting" they show up for me

In addition to the good advice above, you may need to enable the room calculation point in your fixture families. Particularly with recessed fixtures, the origin point of the family may not actually be located within the room/space.
