<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua">I think your assumption is valid. As you have
rightly mentioned that the Baseline Building envelope would reflect the existing
envelope conditions (Table G3.1, Section 5, item (f)). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua">Lighting, usage, schedules, occupancy for the
Baseline Building are governed by Table G3.1, Sections 2, 3 and 4 which are
'Same as Proposed Design'. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua">Keeping the function as a warehouse (occupancy,
lighting, schedules, etc) in the baseline and comparing it with the
proposed design as an office would not be a valid approach.
</FONT></DIV>

Envelope, Item (f) under <st1:place 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>
