<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I can&#8217;t seem to find reference to this in the 90.1
User Manual.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>In Appendix G, Table G3.1.1A, there is a reference to a
Fossil/Electric hybrid for determining Baseline system type.&nbsp; Is this a
system that, for example, might have a gas-fired RTU with electric VAV boxes? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>In other words, if there is ANY gas heat in your Proposed
building, your Baseline building would have to automatically default to a fuel
furnace or gas-fired hot water heating system, correct?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
