[bldg-sim] E-pact 2005 energy incentive questions

Two energy incentive questions for the group:

 

 

1.       Does anyone know the status of eQuest with regard to it's listing
by the DOE as approved software for compliance with the 2005 e-pact energy
tax incentives?

 

2.       With respect to "partially qualifying property" section 2 paragraph
.03 of IRS notice 2006-052. Does anyone have an opinion as to the intent of
breaking the "property" into three components; Envelope, HVAC, and Lighting?
If a building cannot beat 90.1-2001 by 50%, must the budget building be
modeled against the same building with only the lighting changed, and beat
90.1 by 16.7% in order to achieve partial credit of $0.60/SF? Or can the
proposed building with all ECM's be modeled against the budget building and
achieve partial credit? If the intent of E-pact is to encourage energy
efficient buildings, it seams that save 20% and 30% over 90.1 would be
eligible for partial credit.

 

Thanks for your input,

 

Brad
