Do we need pool/spa pumps/heaters on this list? I was leaning towards not including those because our model isn't up to snuff, let me confirm with LBNL next time we talk.

The only place this is used is to calculate the whole home amperage, where I think it deserves a discussion whether to monitor whole home power or whole home current. I think we might have discussed this last year but it's worth revisiting.

In that case, don't we need to include all the uncommon electrical loads? Things like well pumps and freezers are only in a small % of homes but definitely affect whole home power.
If you don't already have it I can get you a list of all the ones that'd come up in ResStock.

Yes, we should include all loads to make this general. I included these based on what loads there were for the Vermont homes that we simulated last year, but it's not an exhaustive list.

Here's everything that can show up but is in a small # of homes:
Extra Refrigerator
Freezer
Hot Tub Spa
Pool Heater
Pool Pump
Well Pump
If it's helpful I can also generate a .xml file for a home with all of these for testing through BEopt.
There's a few uncommon gas loads as well, like gas lighting. Not relevant here but just FYI.
