Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] ASHRAE 90.1 multi building modelling

["Santiago Velez santiagogvelez@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Sean, Are you using 90.1 RPM to demonstrate energy performance for LEED-NC v.2009? 

If this is the case, I believe you need to do an individual analysis for each building, since EAp2 and EAc1 are not part of the "Campus Credits" in a multiple building certification. This implies that each building needs to demonstrate EAp2 and EAc1.

Ref.: LEED application guide for multiple buildings

Cheers,

Santiago.

Dear all,

If required to model multi buildings under ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G PRM, what should I do? To model each building separately (own proposed and baseline designs and compare results) or model them together ASSUMING they are just parts of one assembled building? I suppose the later would be proper as the comparison should normally on total energy consumption rather than individually.

Any ideas on modelling this would be very much appreciated.

Sean
