Forum discussion
CS-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performance
I would like to clarify the basis of baseline HVAC system selection in energy modeling. Selection is based, among others, on number of floors and conditioned floor area. I would like to ask if numer of floors and conditined floor area should include underground floors where we can find technical rooms, showers and parking garage (there are some heaters in the garage and other rooms)?
