Hi,

It is unclear to me how to model plug and process loads for Core and Shell
Projects in Canada. There seems to be a conflict between Appendix 2 and the
Table on Page 292 of the Reference Guide. Has anyone else run into this
before we send in a CIR?

The Appendix wants you to use Table 1 plug load densities (i.e. 1.5W/sq ft
for office buildings) for the tenant spaces while Page 292 says to use
values from the standards (i.e. 0.75W/sq ft for office buildings) or provide
documentation for modelled loads.

It's almost like they want you to use the higher value for tenant spaces to
account for unknown plug and process loads in CS projects (server rooms and
resultant A/C, etc.). If so, I'm not sure if we should still model
elevators, escalators in the common areas or if they are supposed to be
accounted for Table 1.

Any thoughts are appreciated!
