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?
