NC-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
We're working in certification for an hotel, it has the process load (swimming pool, elevators, refrigerators equipment, etc) which can be reduced, for example, can be used the heat rejection the refrigeration equipment for heating the water the swimming pool, also elevators can be used more efficient.
As can be documented the saving energy of process load if it's less than 25% indicating LEED?

Rodrigo, if you can document savings in the process load versus a conventional baseline, then you can integrate that into your energy model and get credit for it here.
