now. One is based on the whole building energy and power cost; you must

light design prescription per ASHRAE 90.1-2001; you must reach 30% ~ 50% saving

working with a customer who did a lighting retrofit and it meets the 50%
improvement over 90.1 2001 for the $.60/sf. My question is, how in do I document
this for the accountants? It's just lighting so do I still need to do the whole
building through one of the approved simulation soft wares or can I just do some
sort of calculation by hand? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>
