[Equest-users] ASHRAE 90.1 Baseline generalization

[Bishop, Bill]

Ryan,
I drive a 2005 Civic Hybrid, 5-spd manual. My boss drives an Audi A4 1.8t. How much gas do we each use per year?
Yes, you are right in your thinking.

Regards,
Bill

Subject: [Equest-users] ASHRAE 90.1 Baseline generalization

This isn't so much an eQuest question, as an ASHRAE 90.1 Baseline question. I have been tasked with producing a general Btu/sq ft or kWh/sq ft for an ASHRAE 90.1-2007 Baseline building for the given system types. My thought is that this is not really possible to nail down to one number or even an accurate range, as it depends heavily on building usage type. Scheduling and occupancy are going to affect equipment capacities, ventilation rates (and thus heating and cooling), and overall energy usage. Am I right in my thinking, or is there a way to get around building type to get that flat energy/sq ft for the different systems?

Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Ryan
