Hello everyone,
I’m working on a Commercial Interior Project following the simulation´s path, in section 11.3.2 item e, says: “Budget Building system listed in table 11.3.2A shall have outdoor air economizers or water economizers, the same as in proposed building, in accordance with section 6.5.1.” therefore I don’t have to simulate any economizer if I don’t have any in my Propose Building Design?
In the same project there is a Server Room, I’m not sure how to simulate its HVAC system. In the appendix G in section G3.1.1, exception b it refers to spaces like server rooms can have an independent HVAC system, however, in chapter 11 there isn’t any section related to Server Rooms. I don’t know if I have to model different HVAC system for the Server Room or include it within the HVAC of the overall project.
Thanks for your advice.

Regarding the economizers that sounds correct.
See 11.3.2(j) which seems to allow the possibility of secondary system types.

Thanks a lot for you advice, I have an aditional question.
In order to meet EAP2 the project has to install ENERGY STAR qualified equipment for 50% (by rated power) of ENERGY STAR eligible equipment installed as part of the tenant's work. Do the loads of the server room's equipments have to be taken into account in this percentage?. In the project those loads are very High.
Thanks in advance

I think they would be part of the requirement if they are new and covered by Energy Star.
