"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>The building we are designing has a very
high process energy use (60%) because of a large data center and the TV Studio
equipment, lighting, and broadcasting. The process loads stay the same in
the building for the proposed and baseline case, so the difference in energy
costs between the two (as a percentage) is very low. Whereas, if the data
center energy, broadcasting energy, studio lighting energy weren't included in
the costs for the energy usage in the building, the difference would be greater,
thus reporting just the difference in energy usage for the mechanical system
and building efficiencies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

2009 they were working on creating baselines of process loads for different
types of buildings that you could compare your process loads to. Has that
gone anywhere? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

right now, but if I were able to magically delete the extra process loads above
the required 25% from both the baseline and the proposed design, I would earn
an additional 3 points.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
