We're an Applied Tech School that teaches CAD and complex simulation technologies. We submitted an alternative compliance path, showing that, although 90% of our office equipment is Energy Star rated, we had to rebuild our base computer teaching equipment (originally Energy Star) to meet the proceessing loads of the complex softwares. The units went from 201w to 313w. We propose that these computers are not office equipment, but are equivalent to process loads. If we include these loads (313w) as non-Energy Star, we lose the Prerequisite and LEED, and this is what the GBCI reviewer has instructed us to do... Any suggestions? We're about to lose LEED!

HI Patricia, sorry for the slow response here. What has happened with this since you posted? If the reviewer told you to submit them as process loads, then it sounds like a good approach, and makes some sense.
