[Bldg-sim] Data Centers

[Leonard Sciarra]

Matt, see the attached,  also, on our most recent LEED data center, we
have just assumed the data center as just one huge plug load.  ( our
data had a medium sized office component ).

Attached is a new interpretation to ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004
(IC 90.1-2004 -17) approved by SSPC 90.1 on April 12, 2008. Included are
PDF versions for posting on the ASHRAE website at
http://www.ashrae.org/publications/detail/15211.

Subject: [Bldg-sim] Data Centers

Does anyone have experience with either modeling or LEED certifying a 
data center (or both)? I am specifically wondering how one should go 
about documenting an energy savings associated with a multiple megawatt 
equipment load, and which option for EA Credit 1 previous data centers 
have accomplished.

Thank you in advance.
