Field Test Protocol: Standard Internal Load Generation in Unoccupied Test Homes

This document describes a simple and general way to generate House Simulation Protocol (HSP)-consistent internal sensible and latent loads in unoccupied homes. It is newly updated based on recent experience, and provides instructions on how to calculate and set up the operational profiles in unoccupied homes. The document is split into two sections: how to calculate the internal load magnitudeand schedule, and then what tools and methods should be used to generate those internal loads to achieve research goals.
