New to Revit MEP 2011 is the ability to define your own load categories for your electrical loads. Additionally, each load category may be associated with a demand factor 'rule' to define how to diversify your loads. Panel schedules will total connected load as well as apply the demand factors as defined for each load category resulting in a diversified total load. Watch this video for an overview. The next two posts will go into more detail on the new functionality provided for the panel schedules themselves.
