FAQs about EAp2:
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?
How do I provide a zip code for an international location?
For a project outside the U.S., how do I determine the climate zone?
For a project outside the U.S., how do I determine the Target Finder score?
Do hotel rooms need automatic light shut-off control?
How commonly are the 90.1 mandatory compliance forms submitted as part of EAp2/EAc1?
The Section 9 space-by-space method does not include residential space types. What should I use?
Can the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) be used to energy model for LEED?
Which baseline HVAC system do I use if my building has no heating or air conditioning?
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?

Longest or shortest?
In the old days you worked on your simulation during the day, hit simulate, went home since it took all night to do one run, and came back in the morning hoping it did not crash. Return to step one.
We have come a long way.
If we did not care about accuracy you could do one is a few hours. Trouble is we have a bit of a hang up about it so we take our time.
To more seriously answer your question our record shortest was probably around 16 hours. I will caveat that by saying that we never do a model just at the end so the model is created incrementally throughout the design process.
