Dear Brian,
The new "Calculate Load Data" option allows you to specify a load using monthly utility bill data and some information about the building's energy performance characteristics. We had intended to include the calculator with both the residential and commercial financial models, but it turns out that the calculator does not work well with commercial building types, so it is only available with the residential financial model.
For now, the commercial model does not have an option for specifying a load using only monthly totals from a utility bill.
You can use the "Download Electric Load" macro to download data from the OpenEI Commercial Building Load Database. That allows you to download load data for 16 representative building types with modeled load data calculated from weather data in the National Solar Radiation Database TMY2 database.
To run the macro, click Macros at the lower left of the Main window, then click Donwload Electric Load in the list of available Macros. Choose a building type from the list at the right of the window, and then click Run macro to download the data and store it as input data on the Electric Load page.
We will work on a better solution for the next update to SAM.
Best regards,
Paul.
