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?

Hello,

We're working on a project that uses chilled water to cool water tanks as part of an industrial process. The supplied chilled water comes from a chiller that also produces cool water to the HVAC system.

Do the chilled water tanks and the piping in the vicinity of the tanks need to be insulated?

Thank you in advance!

If the standard says they need to be insulated, then yes. There was a major shift between 2007 and 2010. See Section 2.1 in 2010 as it now included process related equipment covered by the standard.
