<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>According to
the LEED NC v2.2 user manual, the default process energy cost is 25% of the
total energy cost for the baseline building. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>Example:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>The total energy
cost for a baseline building is T = (X + </span><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
color:red'>Process loads</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>)
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>Let’s
assume that X = $1000.00 = 75% * T<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>To find the energy
cost for a baseline building, we solve for T<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>Therefore T = $
1000.00 / 75% = $ 1333.33<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>and the Process
loads’ cost = 25 % * $ 1333.33 = $ 333.33<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>This is how I
understand the 25% process load calculation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>Can someone please
confirm this approach? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#000099'>Thank you,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
