[Equest-users] Would cheaper fuel be credited?

[YinRic]

Hi Users,

 

In a project, the client wants to use a cheap local fuel (bamboo pellet, rapidly renewable) to reduce annual energy cost and score high on EAc1. I am wondering if in baseline, the fuel must also be bamboo pellet or could be something else, say, natural gas, the price of which is higher per thermal unit? I do not seem to find where in ASHRAE 90.1-2004 dictates that in baseline and proposed, the fuel must be the same. Any comments are appreciated. 

 

Thanks,

Rick, PE, LEED AP
