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

Cooling Only Rooms - Correct Baseline type

Hi, 

I'm working on a 3 floor 145,000 sf manufacturing-type facility with a large cold room in the Northeast. The room is a walk-in storage room set to just above freezing 24/7. Would it be correct to model this as designed in the Proposed, and use System 4 in the Baseline? I believe there needs to be electric heat assigned to it per the notes below Table G3.1.1A, but would not turn on due to the cold setpoint. Is this a viable approach?

The conditioning of this space is not for people so it sounds like it should be a process load and modeled identically.
