Greetings,
I posted this a while back on the MEP SDL forum but also wanted to appeal to the broader community. We need help gathering existing plug/process load data. We know it is out there! Two golden stars to Becky Alexander from LHB who reached out to us after this month's meet-up with some useful material. We need more! Please see below for the original plea...
One of the initiatives from our first meeting in Chicago was to gather and develop resources related to plug and process loads in buildings which will help us all with: energy modeling, equipment sizing and power distribution. Aspirations are that this could turn into a helpful ASHRAE standard and possibly even help to modernize some of the language in the NEC regarding diversity of loads and feeder sizing. This could even be an avenue for dialogue with product manufacturers to push harder on efficiency where we think there is opportunity.
One of our first steps is to collect any existing material or studies that could be helpful that we might not know about. If you know of any existing white papers or formal resources on this topic, please point us in the right direction below!
Thanks in advance!
