Inquiry
The Mid-rise Guidelines for California indicate that the calculation should compare estimated renewable electricity production to TOTAL energy loads for the Standard Design building. This differs from EA 10 for low-rise buildings, where the estimated renewable electricity production is only compared to the electricity loads (not total energy loads) for the Standard Design building. Which is correct for mid-rise buildings in California?
Ruling
As of January 1st 2011, it is appropriate to use total energy loads when conducting the calculation for EA 10 for both low-rise and mid-rise projects in California.
