CS-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
Hi, I hope you can help me with my query.
In a project in process of certification LEED v2009, we are evaluating the efficiency of a polyvalent chiller.
Which table of the ASHRAE 90.1-2007 serves to evaluate the efficiency of a polyvalent chiller? 6.8.1B or 6.8.1C?
We think it should be table 6.8.1C, but we want you to be able to corroborate us. In case the table that corresponds is 6.8.1B, we would appreciate if you could clarify.
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?
Can mezzanines open to floors below be excluded from the energy model?

Our project has a diesel backup generator. Should we include it in our energy model?
Can SHGC be higher in the proposed than in the baseline model?

I do not think that this type of chiller is regulated by 90.1-2007. Therefore there is no minimum efficiency that applies. You might look ahead at newer versions of the standard to see if it is covered but that would not apply to this project.
