w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Baseline</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Building</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> indicates that baseline envelope
conditions shall reflect the existing conditions prior to revision. The project
I am modeling is an existing building that had single pane glass and CMU walls
with no insulation. The internal use of the existing building was quite
different from the new (we are going from a warehouse to an office). I assume,
then, that the <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Baseline</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Building</st1:PlaceType> will reflect the existing envelope
conditions but with the new conditions (i.e. lighting, space usage, schedules, occupancy,
etc.) and the Proposed Building will reflect the improved building envelope
(with, of course, the other energy efficiency measures designed into the renovated
building).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
