NC-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
Hi,
I am trying to classify an HVAC System (for the Baseline model) of 3731 m2 distribuited on 6 conditioned floors (HealthCare facilities).
Checking the Table G3.1.A (Ashrae 90.1-2007) apparently there is a conflict on the Building Type, because "Non residential and More than 5 Floors "or" > (more than) 14000m2 would be able to fit for the building conditions.
Should it considered the System 6 instead (Electric and other) and why?
Thanks 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?

Since it is more than 5 floors it would be a system 7 or 8 even if less that 14000 m2.
