PV- how is it accounted for?

Mid-Rise-v4 EAp1: Minimum Energy Performance
posted by sue bryant on Jul 18, 2016, 1:38 pm

I would like to confirm that PV is accounted for solely in the energy model for V4 Midrise projects. Unlike Homes, there are no credits targeting PV. Also, I see no Innovation credits. Thank you...

Dorm Lighting

NC-2009 IEQc6.1: Controllability of systems - lighting
