The design-case is modeled using the schematic design, orientation, and proposed window-to-wall ratio—the model will return design-case annual energy costs. Earn points by demonstrating percentage reductions in annual energy costs from the design to the baseline case. EAp2 is achieved if the design case is 14% lower than the baseline in new construction (or 7% less in existing building renovations).
