<p class=MsoNormal>There are a couple of ways to do what you are asking.  <o:p></o:p></p>

     mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>For most of your ECM's that are straight forward
     you can use parametric runs under the TOOLS menu in DDedit mode to
     'back-out' the proposed performance down to the baseline performance
     values.  Basic things would include changing insulation values,
     changing glass u-values, overhangs, LPD values, equipment efficiencies,
     etc.  The results of your complied parametric runs will represent
     your baseline building performance results.<o:p></o:p></li>

     do a "Save As" of your proposed file to create an identical file

     Using this method allows you to re-input the baseline HVAC systems in the
     main eQuest systems & plant screens rather than trying to change your
     systems via the parametric runs tool.  I then go back and reinput all

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<br>
 <br>
1) I need to make my proposed model use energy less than
300kWh/m2/yr, and <br>
2) I have to indicate how much energy the proposed model can save compared to a
baseline model.<br>
 <br>
I am not sure how to build a baseline model.<br>
To create a baseline model, do I have to follow all the materials on
ASHRAE 90.1 and change all the setting on eQUEST SD wizard while keeping energy
consumption of 300kWh?<br>
Or is there a baseline already made?<br>
 <br>
Does anyone know how to do the above while satisfying 1) and 2)?<br>
 <br>
Thank you for help.<o:p></o:p></p>
