To extend the argument, pool water heating is NOT a process energy and so
should NOT be modeled as such (equally in both models), even if it would save
time (bummer!). I might suggest documenting the pool heating
consumptions/demands separately from domestic water heating consumption in the
LEED template.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>I agree
with your logic about the intent of the standard and its definition of
non-regulated process. This may be a prejudice that harkens back to LEED v2.1,
but if I see a regulation in 90.1 for efficiency, I assume that ASHRAE intended
to “regulate” the energy use of that category, and thus it falls on
the non-process side of things. While there may be circumstances where
“pool heating” might seem more like a process load (eg freeze
protection for an outdoor decorative fountain in a cold climate?), it seems
like the intent of 90.1 was to regulate pool heating energy usage for a large
proportion of typical pool installations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

system type (heat pumps) also remain the same in the baseline since
electric resistance pool heating is unconventional? Theres a huge energy
