I've been trying to understand how does LEED treat kitchen exhaust hoods with make up unit(heating only) in the energy model. Is it process or non-process? The LEED reference guide 2009 v3, states its regulated (non-process). I have a building that is 90.1-2007 system 5. Do I have to model kitchen hood exhaust and make-up air unit as process or non process?

It is process assuming that the unit does not also provide space conditioning for the larger kitchen. If it provides space conditioning to the larger kitchen then it is not process.
