[Bldg-sim] EUI calculation using ECB Method and PRM Method

[Shanta Tucker]

Hello modeling community,
I've always thought that when trying to forecast an EUI for a building with a whole building energy model, the better approach would be to use 90.1 appx G PRM over Section 11 ECB. While I realize that neither one is intended for energy use predictions per se, I am curious what folks think about using Section 11. Thoughts? Pros/Cons?

Thanks,
