<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I do not believe we are double
discounting. Try this: think of when you turn your computer on and off however
you do so during the day, lets say on at 9 am off at noon on at 1 pm off at 5
pm. That is your schedule. Now think of how when you walk away from your
computer for any length of time and it goes into sleep mode, that's your
diversity. <br>
<br>
Comments, thoughts are welcome. Is this what you were maybe getting at with the
multiplier, Nick.<br>

Would you apply a diversity as well as a schedule for process load? I thought
by applying a schedule we are accounting for diversity. By applying a diversity
and then a schedule are we not double discounting the load?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi
Omer,<br>
<br>
On recent projects, I have had to pay more attention to the process loads for
the types of equipment you mentioned below. In the past, I would just
ensure that my process energy cost was 25% of the total energy cost because I
knew that the types of buildings I was modeling (commercial offices, mostly)
would never have an actual process load even close to 25%.<br>
<br>
However, recently I have been modeling process loads in a more exact way. What
I do is I take the kW rating of the equipment, then I talk to the electrical
engineer to get an idea of whether that equipment will ever run at its rated
load and, if not, I apply the appropriate reduction to it based on what the
electrical engineer says.<br>
<br>
Once I have this maximum energy use for process loads in the building, I then
create a custom schedule for this process energy. Sometimes I need to
create more than one custom schedule based on the type of equipment in the
space. This can become very tedious if you get too far into the weeds, so
I try to keep the schedules realistic, but simple and I keep the number of
different custom schedules I create to a minimum. As we all know, you can
never know the actual occupancy and use schedule of a building until it is
occupied for a certain period of time, so keep your assumptions simple and
logical.<br>
<br>
I'd love to hear what other folks are doing if it differs from my process.<br>

Subject: [Equest-users] Process Equipment Power Consumption<br>
<br>
Dear All,<br>
<br>
One of the things that cause most trouble for us in modelling is the power<br>
consumption of equipment such as dishwashers, ovens, food warm-up<br>
equipment and so on that have varying levels of power consumption during<br>
operation (even PCs and laptops). We are sometimes using nameplate<br>
installed kW values, but deep inside we know that this is quite wrong -<br>
but we have no other more reliable source / guideline for such equipment.<br>
I would appreciate any feedbacks on how others are modelling such<br>
equipment.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>
