FAQs about EAp2 :

Do the required savings for this prerequisite (and credit) need to come only from building energy, or also process loads?

Our project doesn't have enough energy savings to earn the prerequisite. Can we get there by incorporating onsite renewables?

Our proposed design has insulation R-values that are below those prescribed by ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Can we still meet the prerequisite?

NC-v4 EAp2:Minimum energy performance

Baseline System for Floor Radiant Heating

Hi, we are modeling an aquatic center where we have open floors and we are heating the floors with Radiant heating to 84F floor temp, now the floor is being open to enviornment , so in the energy model whenever I am trying to heat the floor because of delta T between floor and outdoor enviornment , temp of the floor is never reaching the setpoint because of the heat being rejected to the enviornment, the other thing is what should be the baseline system for these floor heating system since this is open to the space and is part of the building?

 

TIA

So are you asking how you should model the radiant floor system? I think that natatorims and outdoor pools are process loads so the baseline is modeled identically. If you want to show savings you need to do an exceptional calculation.
