Thermal Blocks of the Proposed and the Baseline should be identical. As
for which type of system to be used as the Baseline, sometimes is tricky.
Principlly, it depends on the heating energy source, Fossil Fuel or
Electricity, which is subject to interpretation when you use
GSHP.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

send a request for interpretation of ashrae 90.1 to steve ferguson <A

because 90.1 is a consensus document, there is a formal process and all
responses need to be voted on. Informally, you can get a quicker response
from Jason and Gard who i presume is reading this right now.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
