The specified loads you enter in Sizer do not include an importance factor that is ordinarily part of the calculation of loads using the NBC.
Sizer automatically applies the importance factors to the combined load calculated for each combination. Importance factors are not included in specified loads to allow the program to calculate serviceability limit loads for deflection design and ultimate limit state combinations for strength design using the same set of input loads (refer to , formerly O86 Table 5.2.3.2.)
