[bldg-sim] Questions about EPACT 2005 and Building Simulation

[Pegues, James F CAR]

I have two questions about the Energy Policy Act of 2005 that
I'm hoping someone can help with.

1. In section 1331, on page 1335 there is a discussion of
   special rules which allow you to receive a reduced tax
   credit for commercial building energy efficiency
   if you can achieve energy savings targets just for
   lighting, HVAC or HW systems rather than for the whole building.
   In item "(ii)" on page 1335 it mentions that the energy
   savings targets will be established by the Secretary (of Treasury?).

   Question: Have these energy targets been published and if so
   in what publication?  If not yet published, where should I be
   watching for their publication?  Federal Register?

2. Later on page 1336, again regarding commercial building energy
   efficiency tax credits, there is a paragraph that states:

   "(2) METHODS OF CALCULATION - The Secretary, after consultation 
   with the Secretary of Energy shall promulgate regulations which
   describe in detail methods for calculating and verifying energy
   and power consumption and cost, based on the provisions of
   the 2005 California Nonresidentail Alternative Calculation
   Method Approval Manual"
 
   Question: Same as before.  Have these regulations have been
   released and if so where they are published?  If not yet
   published, where should I be watching for publication?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
