NC-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
Hi!
We will use ASHRAE compliance forms for our project, and try to fill the out.
In the form for HVAC, part 2, § 6.4 system worksheet, contains the mandatory requirements for HVAC system in our building.
Do we have to to complete the worksheet with all our HVAC system, or is it only the major HVAC system, (e.g major AHU)
Or, do we have to complete it with data for smaller fans e.g exhaust fans in lavatories, lift wells?
Many Thanks!

A portion of our building envelope is historic. Can we exclude it from our model?
For an existing building, do I need to rotate the model?
Our process load is higher than 25%. Do we have to justify that?
Our local code references ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Should I use that for my documentation, or 90.1-2007?

First - If you don't have a copy, you should pick up the 90.1 User's Manual, published by ASHRAE.
I think part 2 is aimed at supply systems. I would not include exhaust fans, or would incorporate them into the system description (ie the exhaust fans are part of the supply system that provides the make-up air.)
I guess I would probably leave out cabinet unit heaters and such, although I don't see that the standard actually lets you do that.

Thanks! We have ASHARE Users Manual, but we can’t find where, exactly, it’s specified which HVAC systems that have to be completed in the worksheet.
Do you think its enough to fill the worksheet with data for system with supply air?
