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

Room Geometry Adjustment - Baseline Lighting Power Increase

Hi,

When modeling the Baseline's lighting power using the Space-by-Space method, may I icrease the Baseline's power by section 9.6.3 (Room Geometry Adjustment) by 20% ( if applicable)?

If so, how may I confirm which working plane (to determine the "Room Cavity Height") is to be use in which space type? I'm assuming about 0,8 m to 1 m for office spaces, but what should I assume for other spaces without a working plane? 0 (zero) m (eg, restrooms / gymnasium / lobby)?

Thak you in advance!

Yes. That is a part of the space-by-space method. The working plane in spaces without work surfaces is the floor.
