<div dir="ltr"><font color="#0b5394" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">I would like to raise a question within the same thread context. I am using eQuest and modeling the process energy for a 25-story hotel as 25% of baseline energy cost as per LEED default. The process energy includes (All plug loads/Receptacles, computers, kitchen equipment, laundry, data center, elevators, etc). I assumed that 25% default value is less than the actual process energy.</font><div>
