NC-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
Hello,
We received a review comment that states "the fan volume and fan power should be modeled identically in the proposed and baseline for semi-heated spaces".
We are not sure where 90.1 or Appendix G states this.
A point in the right direction is most appreciated.
Thank you.

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?

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?

You have to check out the definitions of conditioned and semi-heated spaces. The system types in Appendix G only cover systems serving conditioned spaces, not semi-heated spaces.

Thanks Marcus!
We are clear on what needs to be remedied with the model.
