<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Thanks for the replies so far. I am using
Tas 9.2.1 software for this one, but we also have IES available.<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'>Our approach at the moment is to use the
same system type in the prescriptive as in the proposed model but using limiting
efficiencies (etc.) in the prescriptive model. Lighting, equipment and
occupancy gains would be the same in each.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Not many limiting values are actually
given in the 90.2 document – it generally says to use federal law. Table 6.9
only gives values for GSHP and split systems, which are considered to be ‘non-federally
covered’. The nearest thing we have to federal law is the emerging Abu
Dhabi International Building Code, which is found on the Estidama website. This
has a section entitled ‘International Energy Conservation Code’
giving specifications for the Standard Reference and Proposed Designs. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

this document for values not explicitly given in the Estidama or 90.2 documents.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
