Im trying to find out what would be considered process loads to be metere separately, is there a definition from LEED? Would loads from Water distiller, Sterilizer, Fume hood, Commercial dishwasher, Water purifier be considered process loads?

A process load in LEED generically refers to as any energy end use not regulated by ASHRAE 90.1. All but the fume hood in your list is a process load. Most plug loads are process. Anything basically that is not HVAC, lighting, or service hot water.
