10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>It has been awhile since I have really
looked at 90.1-2007, but your space type has no bearing on what the system type
is going to be. You just need to know whether your building type is res
or not, this should be whole building. Seeing that you reference 2004 and
assuming your project is 2.2 (also you should be referencing the actual standard
not the manual for finality), you should be using system 5 or 6 due to the
square footage. I got jammed up on the square footage vs. number of
floors once myself. I got reviewed on a job where the building was one
floor and 80k sqft but I had used system 3. When I changed to system 5
the savings doubled, I resubmitted and since the project was on the cusp of
silver to gold, they got gold instead of the expected silver. I am
assuming everyone was just glad things worked out there.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Secondly, I don’t think whether the
space is conditioned or not matters either. G expects all spaces to be
conditioned. I say again, it has been awhile since I have thoroughly
looked at this standard and I know a few people have quarks about the whole
space conditioning expectations (just trying to get some good discussion going)
seeing as how us HVAC/energy guys are so stuck on carbon-based realties.
But, in reality (and to answer your question), the entire charade is all up to
interpretation anyways </span></font><font size=2 color=navy face=Wingdings><span

area may be semi-heated as defined by Section 3. I’d recommend
looking into that. If the spaces are semi-heated then they should be
modeled only with heating in the baseline case and the requirements of Table
G3.1.10 don’t apply. It’s also worth noting that if the
spaces are semi-heated they should be modeled with different envelope values in
the baseline case (based on the semi-heated in Table 5.5).</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>I’ve
got a 92,000 square foot Industrial building that I am modeling. If you
went by Table G3.1.1A, the baseline system type would be System 5 –
Packaged VAV with reheat.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>However,
of the 92,000 square feet, approximately 16,000 sq ft is conditioned to
standard 75/72 degrees, while the remainder is a mixture of storage,
manufacturing, etc, and is heated to 55 and cooled to 120 (no actual cooling in
proposed model, but you’ve got to insert some sort of cooling system per
App G).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>So
I really have 16,000 sq ft that is fully conditioned, and 76,000 sq ft that is
only partially conditioned (ie the peak thermal load differs by 10 Btu/h-ft2).

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Do
I have a packaged VAV system for the 76,000 sq ft of shop/storage and isolate
the 16,000 ft2 of real conditioned space as system 3 per the Exception to
G3.1.1? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Or
do I have a packaged VAV system for the 16,000 ft conditioned space and isolate

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>To
further complicate things, since the 76,000 sq ft is split between storage and
manufacturing, where there is theoretically an operating schedule that differs
by 40 hours or more a week between these two different use types, do I actually
just end up with ALL system 3 even though the total net building area is above
the 75,000 sq ft cutoff where we’re supposed to go to System 5?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
