Dear All,

I am trying to model foodservice equipment as process energy. I have
read previous messages on the forum and have reached the energy
consumption table at http://www.fishnick.com/design/resources/leed/.
However, analyzing the table, I have trouble understanding what the idle
rate and efficiency concepts really mean and how to convert them into
eQuest language (meaning installed power x fraction schedule). Can I use
the idle rate as a normalized power consumption rate during one hour? Is
this table sufficient by itself to determine energy consumption or do I
need to know other data? What use does equipment efficiency have in
modeling input?

Thank you,
