<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Team,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The project shows the following energy
consumption/cost distribution details.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Space Cool - 27%</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Heat Reject. -1%</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Vent. Fans -9%</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Pumps & Aux.-6%</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Ext. Usage -0%</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Misc. Equip.-38% (office equipment's, lift,elevators,
fire water pumping system loads,etc)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Area Lights -19%</font>
<p><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Question1:-</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The proposed model shows savings
in all areas except Misc equipment's. However we are not getting the required
savings due to large Misc equipment loads. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We are thinking of altering the schedule
of Misc equipment by providing some control logic/best practices to get
the required savings. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Is it acceptable ? If yes, what needs
to be done in terms of documentation?.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Question2:-</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Is it acceptable by the LEED if the
process/misc energy is kept at 25% irrespective of actual Misc loads?.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks for your valuable input.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Regards,</font>

<br><font size=2 color=#1f497d face="Calibri">Did you file a CIR and get
approval from USGBC before pursuing this, or did you just assume USGBC
would accept your logic? From where I was raised, modifying process
loads is forbidden territory. I’m thinking it would be best to get
CIR approval first.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Arial">We have documented this on two projects –
in both cases we had to document what the industry standard for the process
would be and then how ours was more efficient. One was related to
conveyor energy usage and the process integrator documented the expected
savings based on numerous other installations they had done over the past
few years. The second one was the process energy associated with
refrigeration – through team member networking we surveyed approximately
200 owners of buildings of a similar scope and use to document the baseline
refrigeration system that a building of that type would use. Then
we documented how our system was different and more efficient.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">In both cases this was approached with the
alternative calculation methodology of ASHRAE 90.1 and that section of
the LEED template. Hope that helps!</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Hello All,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">I am currently working on several process
intensive buildings. The mechanical systems and corresponding control strategies
that are being designed are ideal for achieving 30%-40% savings in a standard
office building but I’m afraid that the common denominator, the high process
loads, will significantly reduce my projects savings. Has anyone successfully
submitted for a reduction in process load. If so, what/how did you document
the reduction?</font>
