<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>This is an important question. I am not aware of a definitive
answer. I just looked at 90.1-2004, 90.1-2007 and the User&#8217;s Manuals for both.
I see no change in 2007 specific to how to determine the equipment
efficiencies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>I agree that if you determine efficiency by the baseline equipment
size, you generally end up using better efficiencies for the baseline
equipment. As you mentioned, this is because you are required to model one
system per zone. At the same time, when you determine fan power based on the
baseline equipment size, you use higher kW/cfm. I am finding that, because of this,
my models rarely show cooling energy savings, and usually show huge amounts of
heating energy savings. (Baseline furnaces are 80% efficient and my proposed
systems approach 95%. Also, the buildings I model are mostly in NY &#8211; high
heating hours. I often have heat recovery systems, which also help with the
heating but not much with cooling.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:navy'>So, for know, it makes sense to me to determine the baseline
efficiencies and fan energies from the oversized (10%/25%) baseline capacities.
Knowing this, I have to avoid the tendency to model every single space on the
architectural drawings, and try bundling them better into zones. (Make all the
spaces served by one VAV box a single zone. Make all the spaces served by a single-zone
system one large zone, unless the uses and orientations differ greatly. Etc.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>My apologies but I must bring
this up again, I get too easily confused.&nbsp; My questions pertain
specifically for getting EIR baseline for budget system 3 or any budget system
with Packaged Single Zones.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I am unclear on what capacity to
use to get baseline efficiencies.&nbsp; Generally, the proposed capacity of an
air-side system will serve multiply thermal zones but the baseline requires
systems for each thermal zone.&nbsp; This creates base system capacities much
lower depending on zoning and appears that it may unfairly penalize depending
on how the zoning is done.&nbsp; If a proposed system capacity is between
240,000 and 760,000 then would all baseline systems require a 9.3 EER or
because all single packaged zones have a baseline capacity of less than 65,000,
should baseline single packaged systems be 12.0 EER?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Secondly, it would appear more
timely to generate baseline kW/CFM and EIR based on proposed parameters and
then input these numbers to each packaged single zone corresponding to its
proposed air-side system.&nbsp; Although more favorable numbers may be obtained
using baseline parameters.&nbsp; So if I am Calc&#8217;ing individual packaged single
zone EIRs and I cannot subtract the fan power found using proposed air-side
system CFM numbers but CFM numbers found from the baseline modeling reports and
also capacities found from autosized baseline modeling reports.&nbsp; Any
thoughts?&nbsp; Thanks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
