I am struggling to find guidance on how to account for a central cooling plant serving multiple buildings. We have 5 new construction buildings that will be served with a new central cooling plant.
Is there specific language in the ACM which informs if/how I can take credit for the high efficiency chillers and thermal storage in the central cooling plant design for my individual building’s CBECC model? Or do I have to model my proposed building's cooling system to match the standard design's chiller type and efficiency?
