[Equest-users] Fwd: Fw: Mandatory Provisions 5.4

[Yusuf Turab]

Bob

     I understand where you are coming from. Indian developers have the
same dilemma. Unfortunately, for the prescriptive approach you do not have
a choice. You have to design as per the standard even though the ROI is
very poor. I suggest you follow the whole building simulation method. You
will be able to demonstrate significant savings using simple strategies
like shading, high performance glass, optimised orientation etc. This might
help you do away with insulating the walls.

Hope this helps
