[bldg-sim] Glycol Chillers/Pacakge units..



Hi Folks:
 
I am running into a few office/data center buildings where the main office areas are cooled by conventional chillers and the data center/server areas are conditioned by either Liebert type package units or 40% glycol-to-water mix chillers (colder climates that still need servers cooled). Naturally, both units will be on the same electric meter.
 
The standard DOE-2 does not model glycol cooling, and a commercial building does not need the refrigeration version of eQuest.  Usually, I know the kw/ton (or the moral equivalent) of the glycol cooling source. But glycol/water does not have the same heat absorption properties as straight shot water to follow the load.
 
I am trying to insure I am showing the correct energy used by these units, as I believe the LEED now includes the process loads within the Base and Proposed models to certify the level of LEED obtained.
 
Does anyone have any "tricks" they have used?
