What is the correct way to account for kitchen hood exhaust and the consequential 100% OA makeup energy? This is a commercial kitchen and serving area in a hospital. Thanks in advance.

Hi Cory,
Your question is rather broad and could be interpreted a few different ways. Can you be more specific?

I guess my question is would you classify kitchen exhaust and the make-up air energy as a process load or would it just be added energy use in the proposed? I don't think I should be adding any for fan energy to the baseline via exhaust since I have all fan energy on the supply fan based on the 90.1-2007 fan power calc.

If it is just an exhaust unit with make up air it is a process load.
