NC-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
I am working in projects in Mexico and it has been a challenge to model heating when we have none.
Sometime when modeling heating comes out higher in the proposed design than in the baseline and this is taking away precious points
those numbers don´t make any sence to my clients when we say OH IT IS BECUSE ASHRAE WANTS US TO MODEL HEATTING AS WELL

I would set the thermostat setpoints on the heating side so that it would never need heating.
