CS-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performance

EAp2-2 Section 1.3 - Advisory Messages

Hello, I am filling in my EAp2 template under LEED 2009 for Healthcare. Under Section 1.3 Advisory Messages, it says that I can find the data for this table in my Energy Pro outputs. However, neither I or my LEED fascilitator can locate this data anywhere in my Energy Model outputs. Can someone tell me where I can find the data to fill in this table? I thank you in advance for your help. All else in the template is complete and time is of the esscence. Thanks

Since EnergyPro is a DOE2 product this information will be in your .sim file. The warning and errors are in the beginning and the unmet load hours are in the SS-E reports and the totals are on the BEPU and BEPS reports. If you still see hours outside throttling range multiply this percentage times 8760 to get your unmet load hours. Not sure if EnergyPro provides a report that gives you this information.
