CS-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
Hi everyone,
we have an Core & Shell-Office Building.
We are wondering how we have to calculate the process energy. According to Reference Guide Page 273 Tenant Spaces are modelled with the values from the Table G-B. If we do so we get 20% process energy cost.
Or do we have to use the 25% of the baseline building performance?
thank you very much in advance

A portion of our building envelope is historic. Can we exclude it from our model?
For an existing building, do I need to rotate the model?
Our process load is higher than 25%. Do we have to justify that?
Our local code references ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Should I use that for my documentation, or 90.1-2007?

Do not use the 25% default value. If you are at 20% then simply explain why you are under 25% by including a narrative and/or data regarding your assumptions for process energy.
