Inquiry

Kelley Engineering Center is in design as a 144,000 s.f. university research and teaching building. This project includes a 2200 s.f. data center with racks of servers, and a uninterruptible power supply room. This area has dedicated cooling equipment to extract the heat produced by all of the electronics. Given the nature of the space, and the purpose of the cooling equipment, it appears to meet the definition of a process load, and can be excluded under ASHRAE 90.1 from the energy cost budget for this credit. Do you agree with this interpretation?
