<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Older versions of LEED literature led us to believe there was an expectation/requirement for process loads to be 25%, or else some extra tier of documentation/justification
would kick in and be required – I believe there was a specific reference to a detailed breakdown in some fashion. That has since been debunked and the 25% figure is nearly meaningless in the context of LEED energy modeling, except as (very) loose guidance
for what might be expected of a “typical” multistory office building. In reality, annual process load percentages can vary quite a bit on a case-by-case basis for occupied buildings.

for plug loads and other electric-sourced space loads, using Internal energy source inputs only as needed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

is 1.00). Also take note there’s a corresponding option for a fraction of the input load to be encountered in the space as a latent heat load (of particular interest for kitchens).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>Dear bldg sim'rs <span lang="FR-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>I'm a little concerned that the plug loads I've modelled in my offices are low and could leed to some unwanted usgbc comments.<span lang="FR-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>I'm meeting the 25% requirement but the peak load in the offices is 10w/m2. Whilst i dont think this is overly optimistic the reviewers may think otherwise. Has anybody had experience of plug loads being queried in detail?<span lang="FR-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>Many thanks<span lang="FR-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>Chris<span lang="FR-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
