CS-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
Hi,
Hi,
in EU most countries have feed-in-tarriffs, which reimburse the owner for energy produced at a higher rate than the cost of energy. This would therefore provide a more favorable calculation for EAp2, EAc1 and EAc2 when "using the building's annual energy cost". Does anyone know if feed-in-tarriffs can be used in the calculation?
Thank you for your help

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

For EAp2/EAc1 you can use what ever rate makes sense as long as you use the same rate for both models.
For EAc2 you need to use the virtual rate from your modeling results. You could try to use a different rate but make sure you provide ample justification.
