Thanks in advance

According to ASHRAE Standard 169 the Ireland locations listed are either 4A or 5A.

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?
