<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT size=2><SPAN
class=256562114-22032007>The code compliance analysis runs your original
model through a rule-set that re-writes the input file creating both a
baseline model file and a new proposed model file. The new models
are based on your original model and the parameters of the Code Compliance
Rule Set. The Tool will overwrite any user inputs that do not fit within
the pre-defined rule-set. The purpose I think is to avoid gaming and to
ensure the integrity of the data inputs in both the baseline and as-designed
models. </SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=+0><SPAN
class=601024513-22032007>Also, during early design stages,
we</SPAN></FONT><SPAN class=412034315-19032007> typically run a Base Case
(code complaint model), a Design Case (proposed design), and EEMs (energy
efficiency measures) on top of the Design Case to determine savings
individually from each EEM.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=412034315-19032007><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=412034315-19032007><FONT face=Arial size=2>When we run the
Title 24 analysis, a T24 <SPAN class=601024513-22032007>Standard
model </SPAN> is created <SPAN class=601024513-22032007> which
is great so we don't have to input all the data ourselves. However it also
creates a </SPAN>T24 <SPAN class=601024513-22032007> Proposed
Design </SPAN>model. Obviously the T24 Standard model is our new Base
Case. However, the T24 Proposed model is sometimes quite different than
our <SPAN class=601024513-22032007><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT
color=#000000> original</FONT> </FONT></SPAN>Design
Case. Does<SPAN class=601024513-22032007> anyone know why the
simulation changes </SPAN>our Design Case to make the energy usage
different?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=412034315-19032007><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>Also, we had
trouble with the daylighting simulations in <SPAN

Proposed </SPAN>T24 design <SPAN

EEMs on top of the T24 Proposed Design? But how do we get around the daylight
