FAQs about EAp2 :

Can the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) be used to energy model for LEED?

Is it acceptable to model a split-type AC with inverter technology compressor as a heat pump, like modeling VRF?

Can the Trace 700 'LEED Energy Performance Summary Report' by uploaded to LEED Online in lieu of the Section 1.4 tables spreadsheet?

A portion of our building envelope is historic. Can we exclude it from our model?

Which baseline HVAC system do I use if my building has no heating or air conditioning?

For an existing building, do I need to rotate the model?

Our project has a diesel backup generator. Should we include it in our energy model?

Our project has a large process load—75%. Despite our efforts to make an efficient HVAC design, the cost savings are minimal. What can we do to earn this prerequisite and be eligible for LEED certification? Is there any flexibility in how we model the p

Can SHGC be higher in the proposed than in the baseline model?

Our process load is higher than 25%. Do we have to justify that?

Do I need to justify the electrical and fuel rates I am using in my model?

Our local code references ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Should I use that for my documentation, or 90.1-2007?

Can I claim exterior lighting savings for canopy lighting even though a baseline model cannot include shading elements?

The project is built on a site with existing exterior lighting installed. How should this be accounted for?

Fan power in Proposed Model

Hello, I'm working in a C&S project where I have a partial desing of Air conditioned. The owner will give cold water and outdoor air in each tenant space. The desing has supply outdoor air fans completly designed but the tenant must install the interior unit (Fan coil or air handler), therefore, I don't have the desing of the interior units. How should I simulate the Fan power in the proposed model? Thanks for you advice.

Identical to the Baseline is the simple answer. If your baseline is chilled water then it is straight forward. If your baseline is DX I would use the DES guidance for the baseline system selection.

Hi Marcus, I am in the same situation, I am in a conflict about how to model the VAV systems in each floor and the supply outdoor air fan designed. VAV system supply outdoor air in the baseline, but my proposed will be supplied by fans, that are just a big one. My question is How do i need to model the supplied outdoor air? thank you
