[Bldg-sim] Data Centers

[Matthew Higgins]

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.
