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?

NC-v4 EAp2:Minimum energy performance

Indirectly Conditioned Space Inclusion

Hi all, 

Our building is just slightly over 25,000 sf, so we're needing to get very detailed so as to not include any unconditioned spaces in the energy model in order to meet the prerequisite.

So my question is, which indirectly conditioned spaces do we include? For example, there are technically air ducts that are indirectly conditioned, but do we include these into the energy model?

Thanks in advance!

You usually do not include duct shafts.
