[BLDG-SIM] 25% Process Load in ASHRAE baseline building

[Marcus Sheffer]

No need to manipulate the models to get to 25%.  It is common for an
elementary school to not have 25%.

 

If you do not achieve the minimum of 25% all you need to do is submit a
detailed list of the equipment planned for the building to demonstrate
the actual plug load.  Be sure to include all loads including cooking,
refrigeration, computers, etc.  The last sentence in the third box at
the bottom of page 173 of the LEED v2.2 Reference Guide refers to this
supporting documentation.

Subject: [BLDG-SIM] 25% Process Load in ASHRAE baseline building

 

Hello All-

 

I am using eQUEST to model an elementary school that will be submitted
with the projects LEED documentation.  LEED NC 2.2 from October 2005
states that the proposed building "must be compared against a baseline
building that complies with Appendix G to Standard 90.1-2004 (without
amendments). The default process energy cost is 25% of the total energy
cost for the baseline building".  

 

My question:  What is the best way to incorporate a 25% process load
into the eQUEST file?  I know that I could put in a misc load into the
ASHRAE baseline building I created, and play with that number until it
reaches 25% of the total energy use, but it seems like there should be a
better way to incorporate this load. 

 

Any help is much appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Bridgette
