Dear all, Should I model non-HVAC pumps such as "sewage submersible pumps" and "domestic water booster pumps" as process equipment? Thanks!

We are working on an office fit (3,800ft2) made up of basically 2 rooms. There have been some delays and the owner wants to move into one of the rooms while they finish the other.

posted by  Tatjana Ernst  on 

Hi everyone, i am wondering if we can use the energy prices from the eia.doe.gov (US-Prices) although our project is in Europe? We don´t really understand the Site 273 of the Reference Guide.

non-Cooling tower thinking

EBOM-2009 WEc4:Cooling Tower Water Management
posted by  Jean Marais  on 

How does the line of thought go that balances out not using cooling towers (e.g. air cooled chillers)? Is it bad to not use a cooling tower? is it good? does it balance out in the energy points?

A project we're working on is replacing some of the city sidewalk, which is outside our property line and LEED boundary. Should we include the concrete in our material calculations?
