<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Also please bear in mind that the NEW
2013 standards take effect on July 1, 2014 (they were supposed to
take effect on January 1, 2014, but this was delayed due to
software problems so anything you try now is apt to be wrong).<br>
<br>
The 2013 ACMs are available here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/2013standards/implementation/documents/index.html">http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/2013standards/implementation/documents/index.html</a><br>
<br>
There are two manuals, residential and non-residential.<br>
<br>
Once you see how it is laid out, you will have questions. There
is no single simple table. You can post your questions to the
list or send them to me. I'll try to help. There is also a
"hotline" at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:title24@energy.state.ca.us">title24@energy.state.ca.us</a> . They will also answer
questions for you.<br>
<br>
The "hotline" is very good with knowledgeable people.<br>

you are just looking in the standard, you should find the
“Nonresidential Alternative Calculation Method (ACM)
Approval Manual”. This document includes many of the
modeling rules and baseline requirements for Title 24
compliance. HVAC systems are addressed in Section 2.5. Good
luck!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
