When performing a whole building simulation for Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Optimize Energy Performance, can the process loads for the design case differ from the baseline case?
A: Yes, if the process loads will run off of renewable energy systems
B: No, the loads must always be identical
C: Yes, when project teams follow exceptional calculation method of ASHRAE 90.1 to document measures that reduce process load
D: Yes, if the process loads will run off of a central plant

参考答案: C

本题解释:
Notes:
Reference: Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Optimize Energy Performance, Calculations, Option 1
The process loads can differ, but only when project teams follow the exceptional calculation method of ASHRAE 90.1-2007 to document
measures that reduce process loads.
Certain energy components can be measured using the exceptional calculation method. See pg 275 of the NC reference guide for
examples.
Waterfall pumps and escalators are types of process energy systems that must be modeled in the baseline and design models.
