Hi all

Can you confirm if Energy Recovery per 6.5.6.1 is a mandatory requirement for the proposed building?

Thanks

Only Section 6.4 contains the mandatory provisions for HVAC systems. Section 6.5 is prescriptive.

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?
