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

[Kevin Kyte]

The detailed list of the equipment planned needs to include all
non-regulated loads as well as regulated loads, yes?

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.

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
