<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>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>In
both cases this was approached with the alternative calculation methodology of
ASHRAE 90.1 and that section of the LEED template. Hope that helps!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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>
