NC-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
We're working on a Residential Project, after the design submission the certification body told us that It was not clear if the Baseline case fan power was modeled correctly.
They want us to provide clarification and to report the revised total fan power in KW in Table 1.4, and update the Table 1.8.1 and simulation summary reports to reflect the changes.
Does anyone know what Table 1.8.1 refers to?
Thank you for your help and prompt response

Table 1.8.1 refers to the EA Credit #1 online template.
LEED user contains a spreadsheet that auto-calculates the baseline fan power consumption. Be sure to use this method for baseline supply, exhaust, relief and return fans.Baseline fan powered VAV boxes are excluded from this method.
