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?

Hello everyone,

From my understanding, the proposed HVAC system must be more efficient than the baseline system modeled according to Appendix G of ASHRAE 90.1. Additionally, the proposed system must meet or exceed the minimum efficiency requirements specified in Table 6.8.1 A-K of ASHRAE 90.1.

Could someone please confirm if this interpretation is correct? Thanks in advance.

The proposed system must meet or exceed the efficiency of the baseline system's minimum efficiency. "Meet or exceed" is correct.
