Core and Shell Projects in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Canada</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
There seems to be a conflict between Appendix 2 and the Table on Page 292
of the Reference Guide. Has anyone else run into this before we send in a
CIR?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The Appendix wants you to use Table 1 plug load densities
(i.e. 1.5W/sq ft for office buildings) for the tenant spaces while Page 292
says to use values from the standards (i.e. 0.75W/sq ft for office buildings) or
provide documentation for modelled loads. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>It’s almost like they want you to use the higher value
for tenant spaces to account for unknown plug and process loads in CS projects
(server rooms and resultant A/C, etc.). If so, I’m not sure if we
should still model elevators, escalators in the common areas or if they are
supposed to be accounted for Table 1.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
