4.6.1 Create Process Loads

This option opens the Tabular Space Data to create the process loads in a project as below
Create Process loads
By default, 6 different process loads are created (but not assigned) in a project. These can be seen in the list of space process loads as shown above. A user can assign and edit these process loads or add additional process loads.
To add additional process loads, a user is required to “Add Space Process Loads” from the actions tab highlighted above.
Process loads in each space utilizes the following inputs:
·        Process Name: User-defined input for Process load
·        Process Type (dropdown):  Type of process load. Options include: Process Electric, Process Gas, Refrigeration, Gas Equipment, Elevators & Escalators (Description provided in next section)
·        Multiplier: Multiplier applied to specific process load.
·        Variation Profile: Equipment schedule reference
·        Power: The total installed power consumed by the process load
·        Radiant Fraction: The fraction of radiant heat gain to a space based on appliance energy use. Fraction convective (sensible) is typically equal to 1.0 minus fraction radiant, minus fraction latent, minus fraction lost
·        Latent Gain: The fraction of latent heat gain to a space based on appliance energy use. Fraction convective (sensible) is typically equal to 1.0 minus fraction radiant minus fraction latent, minus fraction lost
·        Lost Fraction: The fraction of heat lost to the exterior is based on appliance energy use
