When calculating the Minimum Energy Performance of a building the energy calculations take into account process and non-process energy. The best way to remember the difference is process energy generally comes from equipment that is plugged into a wall outlet (it has a plug load). Examples of process energy include:


Computers
Office equipment
Kitchen stoves
Kitchen refrigerators
Washers and dryers
Elevators and escalators (these don\'t have regular plugs, but are considered process energy for LEED)

Non-process, or regulated energy generally includes built-in building components:

Interior and exterior lighting (parking garage, security, landscape, architectural)
HVAC (heating, cooling, fans, pumps)
Hot water heating
Toilet exhaust
Parking garage ventilation

See EA Prerequisite 2 for more information about process energy.
