I'm certifying a huge factory with an attached office building. Is it possible to model only the office area?
The factory is high on process loads, which will make it impossible to achieve the 5% prerequisite.
Second question: Is it possible to claim savings on machineary load / consumption, which is our process load?
Third question: Is it possible to claim savings for Mechanical Ventilation (which is still process load) by adding Direct Current Fans (so in such case DC fans get DC energy directly from the solar panels, without any inverter losses?

1. See the guidelines for creating the LEED project boundary. If the factory is part of the project the you have to model it.
2. Yes you can claim savings for process loads using the exceptional calculation method.
3. If the DC fans are run by solar panels then you can claim the savings.

Hi
what is the procedure to claculate "Exceptional Process load" and Savings?
1--Some sfoftware such as HAP-V6 can calculate the process load with respect to schedules, so we still need to calcuate the "exceptional Load" separately?
2--Li# 10291 recomends to simulate both with process load and without proccess loads, i cant understand the interpretation and have the confusion, how to calculate the SAVING to earn points?
3--Li# 10493 recommends to earn points in Core n Shell catagory, as i understand. Simulate the project and claim the saving in category core n Shell(CS) instead on New Construction, it is correct understanding?
4--Ashrae table for motor mentioned 60 Hz motors, Can we consider 50 Hz motors as non-regulated load?
I need to understand the rightway or the approperiate way to earn credits/points for an industrial project with "High-Process load.
