[Bldg-sim] Leed eac1 Plug loads

Chris,

 

My experience has been that if you can provide defensible justification for
your assumptions on plug loads, and state what those assumptions are up
front and why, that reviewers will accept it, even when the "process" loads
in the building don't quite add up to 25%.

 

I've used both the 90.1 User's Manual tables G-B and G-E through G-O and the
COMNET appendices B & C as a basis for receptacle loads and schedules.

 

Thanks,

Steven

Dear bldg sim'rs 

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.

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?

Many thanks

Chris
