Regarding Energy and Atmosphere prerequisite no. 2, does satisifying section 5.6 (Building Envelope Trade Off Option) of ASHRAE 90.1 2004 provide an alternative means of satisifying the perscriptive requirements of section 5.5 (Perscriptive Building Envelope Option) of ASHRAE 90.1 2004?

Ruling

Yes, documenting compliance using the envelope trade-off option (section 5.6) does qualify as an acceptable alternate approach to the prescriptive building envelope option (section 5.5). Applicable Internationally.
