The reason I ask is that I'm modeling an existing building with a data center. The servers have their own, built-in cooling which rejects heat to the outdoors (condenser section located on the roof). The servers (including their in-rack cooling) are metered separately from the rest of the building. Initially I used this data to generate an EPD, but I know realize that this is double counting the load by reporting electrical usage (which I want it to do) and requiring the building HVAC to cope with the internal gains from the high EPD (which I don't want it to do).

I realize that under some circumstances I could just remove the EPD and add the electrical consumption post-run, but this will not work with the rest of my post-processing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
