[Bldg-sim] Corporate Deduction, comparison of the proposed design with the baseline design by ASHRAE 90.1-2001

[Deru, Michael]

Dear Genia,

Please see the DOE web site for more information about the tax deduction and the following NREL report for guidance on calculating the savings.  In addition, DOE and NREL are working on a simplified tool for the tax deduction calculations that will be available in April.

Good Afternoon,

Our client would like to get a tax deduction reducing the building's energy and power costs by 50% in comparison to a building meeting requirements set by ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2001.  This standard does not have Appendix G.   Could anybody help to understand,please,  how I can do it.
Do I need to Use section 11 ( Energy cost budget method) of the standard or  I need to use the same systems and plants in both cases, but different lighting density, building envelope and energy rates according to the actual design for the proposed design and Standard 90.1-2001 for the baseline design?


Thanks.
