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

System 2 as the baseline system for the whole project

We are doing the energy model for one of our projects. This project is a luxurious resort with LGF, GF, 1F & 2F will be located in KSA. Greetings!...

We have a question regarding the baseline system for this project. The project consists of guest rooms, dining areas, and play areas on 1F & 2F. Also, there are supportive areas such as resort offices, mep rooms, Elec rooms, tele rooms in LGF, GF
For guest rooms, we have selected System 2 as the baseline system. Can we think of System 2 as a baseline system for other supportive areas, regardless of condition?

Our plan is to consider System 2 as the baseline system for the whole project. Is this acceptable? or we have to classify the spaces and select a baseline system based on type and area.

Please reply as soon as possible.

You must also apply the exceptions to Section G3.1.1. So if the supportive areas are less than 20,000 sf then you could use system 2 for the entire project area.
