Branching End-use
Energy modeling software has limited end-use categories, requiring users to present data using specific end-use categories.
Click on the plus sign located on the Energy Summary By End-use table.
In the Separation window, select an end-use [1]. Check the Process load box [2] if it’s a process load. Enter consumption and demand values [3].
In this example, a portion of the miscellaneous load is allocated to the parking garage fan. 
To edit it, click the end-use name. 
Mathematical Expression with KaTex
This is applicable when ASHRAE 90.1-2016 or above is selected in Energy Model Information.
“ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2016 has introduced a major revision to the Appendix G Performance Rating Methodology (PRM) compared to the previous version of ASHRAE 90.1. The new PRM intends to standardize the Appendix G baseline modeling requirements for all future versions of ASHRAE 90.1 by using a modified ASHRAE 90.1 -2004 Appendix G baseline combined with Building Performance Factors (BPFs) to calculate the performance cost index (baseline cost budget). BPFs are regulated energy cost reduction factors based on simulations performed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) using the ASHRAE prototype buildings and categorized by climate zone and building typologies.”
