NC-2009 EAc1:Optimize Energy Performance

Energy modeling for an industrial facility

I am working on an energy model for a Factory that was registered under LEED v3. The factory has no HVAC system except for some ventilation fans. Also, the major sum of the energy consumed by the facility is for the industrial process itself. My question is: can I model this project considering the industrial process loads as a receptacle loads which will be identical in the baseline and proposed building cases?

The industrial process would generically be referred to as a process load. A receptacle loads generally refers to equipment that is plugged into an electrical outlet and it is also generically a process load. You are required to model all process loads identically.
