CS-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performance
Hi Guys I have a pleasant dilemma. The project is new build offices in climate zone 5a. The energy model indicate savings of 39.52% from the baseline. When I calculate the costs manually, to take advantage of the ACP, I get 52.9% developer influenced costs. Via the ACP, 39% savings with 53% influence gives me 21 points. Has anyone seen this before (considering it is a good, but not ground breaking building)? Thanks
