Hi!
How can i gain points in my simulation with kitchen equipments?
I'm working on a project that has automation and i don't know how can i indicate this.
I think all kitchen equipments will be process load. Is this correct?
Thanks!

A portion of our building envelope is historic. Can we exclude it from our model?
For an existing building, do I need to rotate the model?
Our process load is higher than 25%. Do we have to justify that?
Our local code references ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Should I use that for my documentation, or 90.1-2007?

You need to show savings against an established baseline. For many types of kitchen equipment there is an established baseline within EAc1 in LEED 2009 Retail - http://www.usgbc.org/leed/rating-systems/retail
Yes this equipment is considered a process load within 90.1.

Thanks Marcus!
I don't undestand the baseline indicated on EAc1.
I have a kitchen with biomass water heating. How can i make the baseline?
ASHRAE says that i have to use the same fuel, but, how can i gain with this comparision?

The biomass would potentially considered a renewable energy source so you would claim credit for it that way.

Thanks Marcus!
If my proposed model is with biomass, how is my baseline?
