FAQs about EAp2 :

Do the required savings for this prerequisite (and credit) need to come only from building energy, or also process loads?

Our project doesn't have enough energy savings to earn the prerequisite. Can we get there by incorporating onsite renewables?

Our proposed design has insulation R-values that are below those prescribed by ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Can we still meet the prerequisite?

NC-v4 EAp2:Minimum energy performance

Existing Equipment

The 90.1-2010 User's Manual states: "In some cases, a complete HVAC system already exists (...) the proposed building and baseline building models are the same and are based on the existing HVAC system". Is that statement valid also for the ventilation air flow rates (i.e., is exception c. of G3.1.2.6 not valid?)?

That is correct if the existing system remains unchanged. The existing system is modeled identically. It must, however, also comply with ASHRAE 62,1. So if is does not comply it must be modified to do so. If it is modified then G3..1.2.6 (c) is valid.
