Dear Leeduser,
I have a Cold Storage project intent to pursuit LEED v4 Warehouse, for energy simulation, lack of software have ability to modeling the Cold storage.
Anyways I have found the software name Cold Pack Calculation Pro has the ability to model the Cold storage, my question is this software compliance with LEED? Can I use this software to modeling the energy consumption for Cold Storage part?
Please refer to this link for the description of this software: https://www.ipu.dk/products/pack-calculation-pro/
Thanks a lot!

eQUEST has a refrigeration version that definately can be used. It is also free.
I am not familiar with the software you mention. Since the refrigeration load is a process load it doesn't really have to comply with 90.1 but it might be a good idea to check it against Section G2.2. After a quick glance it appears to be a good option.
If you model the refrigeration in this software, what software are you using for the rest of the building? You should be able to bring the results from the refrigeration software over but make you you consider any interactive effects with the other buidling systems.
Are you just wanting to model it or are you trying to claim energy savings?
