[Equest-users] Process Load - LEED and Appendix G

[Demba Ndiaye]

Jeff,

 

LEED requirements are that,  to avoid having to supply supporting
documentation to the effect that process input is correct, the process
load be at least 25%. In your case, you are fine with your 50-75% (or
more).

Subject: [Equest-users] Process Load - LEED and Appendix G

 

Hi All,

 

Assume a manufacturing / warehouse building has a very high process
load, say 50%-75% (or more) of total energy use. Must the energy model
reflect the actual load or can the simulation default to a process load
equal to 25% of baseline energy use? I can see the argument for each
strategy and would appreciate any insights or interpretations on this
issue. 

 

This question relates exclusively to preparing energy simulation
documentation for a LEED project.

 

Many thanks,
