The project is installing VRV units of Daikin (VRV Model # RXYQ18PY16). How shall we go for prescriptive compliance as per ASHRAE 90.1 2007 and Core Performance Guide, since they are not covered at that time? How shall we obtain points under EAc1.3- HVAC - Equipment Efficiency?

Technically VRF is not covered by 90.1-2007 so it becomes basically exempt. I would look to ASHRAE 90.1-2013 to demonstrate minimum compliance however, since they are covered there. Not sure about Core Performance or EAc1.3.
