Princeton University Energy Guidelines - Fan Power Calculator (Appendix 3.

3-15)
This Excel workbook should be used to calculate baseline fan power allowances for Appendix G energy models.
The proposed design fan power should also be entered. This is the sum of supply, return, and exhaust fans that are greater than 1 HP.
