used</SPAN><FONT><SPAN class=601024513-22032007> the Title 24 analysis in
eQuest for California projects, I know it hasn't been officially approved yet
but by the time our building will be fully designed I am hoping that it will be.
Anyone know the latest on this approval
process?</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><FONT><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>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
class=601024513-22032007> case. I'm assuming it is correct to model the
EEMs on top of the T24 Proposed Design? But how do we get around the daylight
modeling part?</SPAN></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
