Yes, I agree that i should use the existing envelope for the existing
conditions of the existing building and the ASHRAE Min for the new building.
 But it comes down to whether EA Credit 1 follows the new building % or the
existing building %.  it is a 2 point difference that could effect
strategies for saving energy later in the design.
