Chen,

My understanding about the process energy is that you need to have the proposed values.  If your process energy does not equal 25% of your total energy than I usually give an explanation why I don't have so much process load. The reviewer wants to make sure that you took into account all your process load (refrigeration, cooking equipment, elevator, etc. )

The difference between areas I don't usually find that in e-Quest but Hap program will have that because of the load calculations that does not include the interior cavity wall of spaces.  If your model is in e-Quest, than I will investigate more and talk to the architect.

I hope this helps.

 Hello Chen

I'm not an expert on eQuest but i know that proses loads must be at least 25% of the cost of total energy consumption unless you have  documentation to support the opposite. You have to increase miscellaneous loads until you get at least  25% .

I hope that helps

Hi all,

I am building a model for LEED project and I have some questions confused me for a long time, does anybody know the answers or can give me some suggestions?

1. All the property information I have is only a part of all the information listed in eQUEST, if I can't find the information in equipment spec., could I leave it in default value or I need to find out anyway? If I leave it in default value, will it effect the result a lot?

2. The area is 19211 ft2 in document and I import the Building Area 19211 ft2 in wizard screen 1 of 25, but after I footprint the shape with CAD file, there is an information "Dimensions Specified Above: 17775 ft2". Does it mean the area of this building now is 17775 ft2 not 19211 ft2? Will it be accepted if the building area is not the same as the document?

3. The reference guide shows the process energy should be at least 25% of all energy cost. If the process energy is less than 25% after I finish building the model, how could I increase the process energy to 25%?


Thanks for any help.
