CS-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performance

VRV in Table 1.4

Hello, I am filling out the Table 1.4 for an office building with mutiple tenants, and each tenant has a separate VRV to serve their space. On the "General HVAC" tab of Table 1.4 (row 11), there is no option for VRV, or heat pump. I am wondering which option I should choose to properly reflect the system. Otherwise, do I need to fill out anything in the "Water Side HVAC Details" tab for the proposed system? Thanks!

You should not select any options in row 11 since none apply. The check boxes there simply trigger other sections of Table 1.4.8 to activate. Nothing to fill out in the water tab. Enter the proposed system description in row 19, using additional rows as necessary.
