how is it that lights and equipment power is input per area and out put as Watts? e+ has a per area option for both of these.

for example I had to change the !-Design Level calculation method field from "LightingLevell" to "Watts/Area", erase the input in the Design Level Field input and insert my 9 W/m2 into the Watts per Zone Field:

Lights, 118451 General lighting, !- Name
118451, !- Zone Name
10001, !- Lighting SCHEDULE Name
Watts/Area, !- Design Level calculation method
, !- Design lighting Level (W)
9, !JMM Baseline 13, Design case 9 !- Watts per Zone Area {watts/m2} !Baseline Deviation
, !- Watts per Person {watts/person}
0, !- Return Air Fraction
.42, !- Radiant fraction
.18, !- Fraction Visible
1, !- Fraction Replaceable
ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT#118451#GeneralLights; !- LightsEndUseKey
