[Bldg-sim] Need help in base case design for HVAC in Title 24 Rules

[RobertWichert]

Also please bear in mind that the NEW 2013 standards take effect on July 
1, 2014 (they were supposed to take effect on January 1, 2014, but this 
was delayed due to software problems so anything you try now is apt to 
be wrong).

The 2013 ACMs are available here: 
http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/2013standards/implementation/documents/index.html

There are two manuals, residential and non-residential.

Once you see how it is laid out, you will have questions.  There is no 
single simple table.  You can post your questions to the list or send 
them to me.  I'll try to help.  There is also a "hotline" at 
title24 at energy.state.ca.us .  They will also answer questions for you.

The "hotline" is very good with knowledgeable people.
