Pumps energy consumptions, Leed proposed vs baseline

Hi everybody,

I'm working on a model in DesignBuilder. In the plant there is a supply manifold provided by several pumps; can I model those pumps separated or must I model a single pump? In this last case, do I have to sum each single pump power to insert the total power? I have variable speed pumps, should I average also che performances curves? Should I model also pumps energy consumption for DCW?

Thank you
