<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"></SPAN> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">1) Yes, it currently needs to be done in 3.63. I THINK, if you call the .INP file something else, and call it up in 3.63, your model should be fine.</SPAN></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"></SPAN> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">2) Yes the base model should be in ASHRAE-90.1-2001</SPAN></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"></SPAN> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">3) Paperwork should be on EPACT website.</SPAN></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"></SPAN> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">4) Took me about 60 hours, soup to nuts. And I am not the fastest modeler in the West.</SPAN></div>

<DIV id=yiv1981427319>
<DIV>Hi All, </DIV>
<DIV>I have a model done in 3.64 (baseline is calibrated to utility) and proposed with the ECM's. Now the owner wants to file for EPAct tax credits. I have not done this before, so some questions:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. eQuest 6.4 is not on the list, only 6.3 - do I have to shift the model to 6.3?</DIV>
<DIV>2. I haven't finished reading the EPAct stuff completely, but quick glance through mentions ASHRAE 2001 as baseline. So, that means I have to generate a whole new baseline model ??</DIV>
<DIV>3. Do I have to keep in mind any specific issues while modeling the proposed (and the baseline)?</DIV>
<DIV>4. What all paperwork is involved?</DIV>
<DIV>5. How much time will all this take?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for any inputs - really appreciate it.</DIV>
