Hi everyone,
Reading the v4 reference guide, it seems that the default process energy being 25% of total energy cost for the baseline disappeared from the requirements. Have you also noticed it? is it not a requirement anymore?
You rely on LEEDuser. Can we rely on you?

Marcus Sheffer has already commented this issue. Actually, such a requirement has never existed. Both in LEED 2009 and in LEED v. 4 you have to model the process energy considering "the building type or space type category" (Tab. G3.1-12). The best situation is when you can consider the real process power (with the real schedules) that is going to be installed in the building. For LEED 2009 when the process energy is less than 25% of total energy cost for the baseline model you have to provide a narrative.
Best Regards
