[BLDG-SIM] LEED EA Prerequisite 1 and eQUEST

Peter,
 
You are correct.  Appendix G does not provide any path for compliance with
Standard 90.1.  It is used only for demonstrating energy performance that
may exceed the Standard.  SSPC 90.1, however, is debating whether to propose
that this Appendix G become “Normative” rather than “Informative”, meaning
that it would be required.  I think the committee is a long way from
bringing this to fruition.

It is my understanding that what you state below is not actually correct.
demonstrating savings via Appendix G does not demonstrate compliance with
the standard. If you do not meet the mandatory provisions you do not meet
the prerequisite. If you do not meet the prescriptive requirements then
officially you need to demonstrate compliance via the ECB method (chapter
11) in a pass/fail mode. 
 
provided you pass, then you use Appendix G to demonstrate savings.
 
all - correct me if I am wrong here.

Thanks to everyone for weighing in on this. It  turns out my question
regarding LEED was a little premature - you can use your Appendix G
documentation for this.
 
Which brings up the question - given that LEED now requires a minimum of 2
energy reduction credits to be earned, what's the point of the prerequisite
documentation?

Vik:
 
eQuest in its present form only can develop California Title 24 forms. There
IS a 90.1 Version in the works, but it is not yet available. Stay tuned.

Vik,
 
I believe eQUEST will only produce overall performance for Title 24 not the
prescriptive forms.

Has anyone used eQUEST to document the EA prerequisite (compliance with 90.1
or other codes)? I suspect eQUEST does not do that for anything other than
Title 24 - am I correct?
