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

standards for heat recovery efficiency

I am considering a Japanese air-air heat recovery system (exhaust air energy recovery). Its efficiency is evaluated according to the Japanese standard JIS B 8628-2003 (heat exchange efficiency 79.6%) and according to the European standard EN 308:1997 (heat efficiency 73%). According to which conditions shall the efficiency be evaluated for Appendix G of ASHRAE 90.1-2010?

Best Regards

I don't see a referenced standard in 90.1 for determining the efficiency of heat recovery equipment. So I assume you can use the one that makes the most sense to you as long as you have justification for the number you use.
