<div>I am trying to model a 2-story college going for LEED. The building contains several differernt lab rooms which includes a lof of equipment (Approximately 26W/ft^2 for half of the building). After running the simulation, the preliminary report states that the annual TDV Energy Use Summary for the entire building is 847.95 TDV-kBtu/sqft-yr with 684.71 towards the receptacle energy. Trying to get the minimum 14% energy cost savings is almost impossible with this receptacle energy. What options do I have to reduce the Receptacle Energy in order to meet criteria for LEED points? Is there somewhere I can input this heat load so it does not have such a great impact on the energy use summary report and still have an accurate model of the building? </div>
