I'm working on the a project that has LED "media screens" on each of its four facades. Would I include this energy and power load in the baseline as part of "process"--it's for advertising and entertainment, so it takes advantage of the ASHRAE exemption for such--or would it only be included in the design case because it's unique to this project ? In this latter case, I'm assuming that the energy consumption would need to be compensated for by other ECMs in the building in order to qualify for LEED.

It would be considered process and be modeled identically in both cases. Basically it sounds like a really big monitor so it would be treated the same as a small one.

Thanks, Marcus. Sounds so simple when you put it that way.
