In addition, this addendum proposes to make the baseline consistent with the prescriptive requirements of 90.1-2004, and it will remain that way in future versions of the standard.<br>There have been discussions within the group that this approach would further confuse people about the proper procedures to use in Appendix G modeling and the Appendix G compliance path should be kept the way it is as a % improvement over the current iteration and not the 2004 version.<br>More information regarding the addendum is available<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><a
