Dear list,

I googled a bit for this problem and didn't find anything immediately so
here goes. I am working on a building that has huge computer systems that
cause 40% of kWh to go to process loads. In order to meet LEED goals the
owners went for a server/terminal solution where there is a 920W server and
19x75W terminals instead of 19x270W desktops. When I apply this as an
exceptional calculation the models go from 12 points to 20 points which
looks like it will raise flags.

My questions is:

Does this situation sound like something a reviewer would go for as an
exceptional calculation?

Do I model the baseline and proposed identically with the higher process
load or the lower one?

Thanks,
Jacob
