NC-2009 EAc1:Optimize Energy Performance

Data Center in on Office building Energy Modelling Calculations

Hi all, We re currently working on an office building project of 10.000 square meters and within the building there is a data center as big as 150 square meters. we are plannig to apply v2009 NC. we have made the energy modelling for the building and the calculations of the data center has decreased our energy points a great deal. What i'd like to know is that, are the data centers within a new constaction building modeled with the same baseline values of the NC or not, since their energy consumptions are fairly high. Thank you!'

This is a process load and must be included in both models identically. There is a spreadsheet you can use to show energy savings associated with a data center. http://www.usgbc.org/resources/minimum-energy-performance-data-center-calculator
