is there a way to get data for a manufacturing facility?
I am learning OpenStudio and I recently started modeling a warehouse that has a medium size manufacturing space and some offices. I was not able to see the attributes for the manufacturing space in the on-demand template generators using the SketchUp plug in. I loaded the warehouse and office space attributes but could not find the same for the manufacturing space. I found the occupancy measure/component for a manufacturing facility in the BCL but I am not sure if I can add that in OS in the Facility tab for the "people definitions" button. Is there a way to model a manufacturing facility or am I doing it all wrong? Thanks a lot in advance!

Can you point me to what you found on the BCL. Did you find a measure or a component?
Hi David, I double checked it and this is a "component" with the tag occupant. Listed in the BCL as High Activity - Heavy Work, Factory Work. Thank you!
For reference, that isn't telling you the occupancy level for a space, it is telling you for a specific type of activity how much heat a person gives off.
Thank you for your insight David! If I were to add this component to my model in OpenStudio, should I added it in the "Load" section or "Spaces" section under the tab "Loads" for Activity Schedule (people only) ?
