Review sections 1.4, 2.9, and 3.10 in the Advanced Buildings: Core Performance Guide (CPG) to understand the requirements and how they relate to the systems to be installed in the project:

• Section 1.4: Mechanical System Design – Perform project-specific load calculations during design to properly size mechanical equipment and to ensure efficiency and comfort by meeting ASHRAE-55 requirements for temperature and humidity.
• Section 2.9: Mechanical Equipment Efficiency requirements – Meet or exceed the minimum requirements for efficiency for listed equipment in the CPG.
• Section 3.10: Variable Speed Control – Provide variable flow capabilities for air and fluid systems by specifying variable speed fans and pumps with a motor horsepower of 5 hp or greater.
