A pilot credit is available that outlines an alternative compliance path for buildings without cooling towers. To see if you qualify, determine whether your building falls under System 7 or System 8 as outlined in ASHRAE 90.1–2010 Appendix G Table G3.1.1. If it does—and if you don’t have a cooling tower—you can use the pilot credit to achieve this credit.
Question
What if my building doesn’t use a cooling tower?
