I am working on data center project with rather tight LEED requirements and was wondering if it's worthwhile to include efficiency of this equipment. What is your experience and practise? Have you ever included this issue in your models? If yes, how would you model it? Increased energy consumption in baseline model or lowered heat gains in proposed? |
