Inquiry

For mid-rise multi-family projects, how should PV be handled if it is not serving in-unit spaces but instead offsetting common space or exterior loads (e.g. lighting, pools, fountains, detached garages)?

Ruling

For mid-rise projects, if the PV is serving an ancillary load that is not already included in the energy model, this ancillary load must be added to the total loads in both the rated and reference building. Otherwise, the procedure described in the Mid-rise Pilot Guidelines should be followed.
