All,
What is the proper method to model a commercial kitchen walk-in cooler?
Should it be modeled as its own refrigerated HVAC zone or should it be
incorporated into the kitchen HVAC zone as a self-contained refrigeration
load? Thoughts.

Jason:
I am a "straight shot" modeling guy, not a LEED expert. But I would put its load
in the refirgeration area in the Direct Electric Loads under the Electric meter
Tab (in the Detailed Edit mode). I believe this area does NOT add load to any
space, just acknowledges the electric contribution and segregates it.
