do a lot of LEED modeling in health care. You should be seeing between 20% and
35% for the electrical process load. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">If
you have a lot of large equipment; CT’s, MRI’s, etc. then you’ll be closer to
the 35%. If you have a small clinic or medical office building that shares
equipment between locations, then you’ll be closer to 20%.

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Another
consideration is that your large equipment might be water cooled. If that’s the
case, you should put about 10-15% of the electric load in the space, and then
85-90% of the load as an external load similar to exterior lights. Make sure to
put an equivalent cooling load on you chilled water loop as a process load.

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt">Hi Chen,<BR> I don't do
much medical work or LEED but the medical equipment should be modelled like a
process load and have it's own schedule you can manipulate. 60% sounds
like a lot. With it's own schedule you can change it to reflect its actual
loads and locations in the building. Process loads, like industrial loads
don't effect LEED. But they do effect the sizing of your HVAC
equipment. So you do have to model them realistically. You could put
them on their own sub meter as well. This might make separating from the
LEED parts of your project simpler. LEED or not, your building has to work
well. That is your primary focus. 60% is a big effect, make sure it
is realistic and make sure your systems can handle it.<BR>Bruce Easterbrook
