Dear Concern:- Our project is LEED v3 NC project (the project is primarily a data center) The project process load is more than 70% so we plan to do exceptional calculation for server racks is there any specific calculations and procedure for datacenter equipment can we follow LEED V4 datacenter sheet for exceptional calculations What is the base case equipment and what is PUE for Base case as per LEED V4 datacenter we need to create 2 proposed case one for full load another for startup load but our project was started with full IT load initially so we don't have to create initial startup IT load model So please advise how to handle these isuues

Yes you can use the v4 calculator - http://www.usgbc.org/resources/minimum-energy-performance-data-center-calculator The calculator creates the basecase. Makes sense to ignore the startup load if it is the same as the full load.

Dear Concern:- 1.the project is LEED v2009 but this calculator is for LEED v4 can we use it for submission 2.How to proceed exceptional calculation for server based on this sheet 3.Is it possible to use some other server other than this sheet for base case to do exceptional calculation with technical comparison , three facility used the same base case server with in last five year 4.How to take server base case by use this sheet this sheet have help to prove electrical system saving only please advise us

1. When you visit the link it says that you can use this for LEED 2009 projects. 2. Follow the instructions. 3. You could try to do that but you will need to provide sufficient justification for the baseline. This entails more risk but it is possible. 4. I am not sure what you mean.
