The energy cost offset from onsite renewable energy cannot be used to demonstrate compliance with the prerequisite. Can this cost offset still be credited to the proposed energy cost savings for this credit?

Shading by fixed construction elements - take into account for the baseline model?

Hi

Summary from Appendix G:

- self-shading is not allowed to be modeled in the baseline

- manual shading devices are not required to be modeled in the baseline

- shading from surrounding structures or terrain can be modeled, but either in baseline AND proposed the same, or not at all

- permanent shading devices such as fins, overhangs etc shall be modeled in the proposed

How to deal with permanent shading devices in the baseline?

Thanks

Sarah

Just remove them from the baseline model.
