<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I’d second Stormy’s suggestion of looking at the PNNL models, just note that some, such as the healthcare model, are simplified and may not fully characterize
more typical 90.1 modeling results. You will likely see that systems will range in performance based on type of building. Also, as you may already appreciate, climate zone plays a huge role. The same lab or hospital model in Seattle, Chicago, and Miami
can easily range in performance from 50-500 kBtu/sf-yr depending on types of systems and ventilation requirements.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

http://www.energycodes.gov/development/commercial/90.1_models</a>. Maybe it would help you gain a better intuition about the EUI for different types of 90.1 baseline buildings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This isn't so much an eQuest question, as an ASHRAE 90.1 Baseline question. I have been tasked with producing a general Btu/sq ft or kWh/sq ft for an ASHRAE 90.1-2007 Baseline building for the given system types. My thought is that this
is not really possible to nail down to one number or even an accurate range, as it depends heavily on building usage type. Scheduling and occupancy are going to affect equipment capacities, ventilation rates (and thus heating and cooling), and overall energy
usage. Am I right in my thinking, or is there a way to get around building type to get that flat energy/sq ft for the different systems?<o:p></o:p></p>
