<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>We
have documented this on two projects – in both cases we had to document what
the industry standard for the process would be and then how ours was more
efficient. One was related to conveyor energy usage and the process integrator
documented the expected savings based on numerous other installations they had
done over the past few years. The second one was the process energy associated
with refrigeration – through team member networking we surveyed approximately
200 owners of buildings of a similar scope and use to document the baseline
refrigeration system that a building of that type would use. Then we
documented how our system was different and more efficient.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

both cases this was approached with the alternative calculation methodology of

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I
am currently working on several process intensive buildings. The mechanical
systems and corresponding control strategies that are being designed are ideal
for achieving 30%-40% savings in a standard office building but I’m afraid that
the common denominator, the high process loads, will significantly reduce my
projects savings. Has anyone successfully submitted for a reduction in process
load. If so, what/how did you document the reduction?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
