<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Hi all;</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I am trying to integrate a
walk-in cooler in a convenient store in store’s <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>HVAC system. In winter, I would like to
direct the heat from the walk-in cooler cooling system to be used in heating the
store. The store is in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Greenville</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">NC</st1:State></st1:place>
( moderate climate). The convenient store is still in the design phase now. The
estimated heating load for the convenient store is 48,000 Btu/hour. The walk-in
cooler cooling capacity should be appproximatelly four tons. The
convenient store design is an open plan with high ceiling. Does anyone have an
idea of how such integration might be?</P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">Question:</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">1. This is about Table G3.1,
No.5, which is Building Envelope part of the requirement for calculating
proposed and baseline building performance on ASHRAE 90.1-2004. Can anyone
explain about point "b" in Baseline Building performance column? My
understanding is as follow: It looks like what ever the proposed building is,
the base line building will always consist of: a) Insulation entirely above deck
type of roofs, b) Steel-framed type of above-grade walls, and c) Steel-joist
type of floors. Can anyone please confirm if my understanding is correct or
wrong?</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">2. This is about how to
translate the requirement of Opaque elements from Table 5.5-1 to 5.5-8 of ASHRAE
90.1-2004 to Equest (Design Development Wizard: Shell component, windows 3 and
4). How do we use the value from the table 5.5 on Equest exactly? I am a little
bit unclear about where I should plug in these values from this table on
eQuest.</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">On the other hand, does the
value from the table 5.5 go straight to Exterior Insulation and Add'l Insulation
part?</SPAN></FONT></P>
