(#533) Data Center in mixed use buildings

Query

Can data center spaces in a mixed use building be modelled as unconditioned space/block with zero loads since all process loads are already deducted from the calculations?

Solution

Data center cannot be modeled as unconditioned space/block with zero loads because latent heat gain from lighting, equipment and occupancy will be neglected in that case. Hence, the data center can only be modeled without process load.
