NC-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
For HVAC System, Our project team will apply to 2 absorption chillers and geo-exchange heat pump.(project site is located in DES)
In this case, we know that the baseline system of HVAC is absorption chiller(applied DES guideline/ Baseline system type is 7).
But, I don't know what is the baseline system for geo-exchange system(It is not renewable energy)
Thank you for your help.

Typically there is one baseline system unless one of the exceptions in G3.1.1 applies. The baseline system is usually based on the size and heating fuel type.
