[Equest-users] Exceptional Calculation for drug manufacturing facility energy savings

[Bishop, Bill]

Dana,

 

What would you actually "do" differently in the proposed design to
change the space classifications? I'm not familiar with what constitutes
Grade A vs. Grades B, C or D. You need to be able to explain how what
you are doing is not standard/typical practice. I'm intrigued to hear
the rationale. Just because I put a bunch of desks in a long, narrow
open room, doesn't mean I can call it a office in the baseline but a
corridor in the proposed.

 

Regards,

Bill

facility energy savings

 

Modelers,

Has anyone performed an exceptional calculation to demonstrate energy
savings in a drug manufacturing facility for EAc1? We are trying to
demonstrate an improvement and savings by lowering the required
classification of spaces.. I.E. changing from a Grade A space at 90 fpm
requirements to Grade B, C, or D. This can reduce the air changes
drastically. This of course reduces building loads and energy
consumption dramatically, shrinks the HVAC equipment, and may even
reduce the overall building footprint that is required.

Has anyone successfully done this for LEED? Maybe this also falls under
the Innovative Category, for shrinking the building footprint? If anyone
has any advice to offer, that would be great; example project, resource,
website, etc.. This might fall under the realm of process load
reduction..
