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?

Has anyone successfully used the Option 2. Pathway for a data center? The AEDG tables do not seem applicable to the use type but it seems to be a valid pathway to meet the prerequisite for a data center. If so which use type guide did you use?

I do not think you can use Option 2 or 3 for a data center.
