<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book","sans-serif"">We are modeling a new construction hospital whose cooling loads are met by 3
<u>onsite</u> 1350 ton chillers. A fourth ‘future’ 1350 ton chiller is added to this plant to provide supplementary cooling to an adjacent but future Lab building (the lab also borrows partial cooling from a campus CHW loop). All four chillers will be connected
to the same primary chilled water loop, so essentially both the hospital and lab will feed off the same CHW loop. However, the hospital and Lab are being certified as two separate LEED NC projects.

will model the hospital as having only 3 onsite chillers and all related upstream equipment without following the LEED DES guidelines.
