I have an even more interesting scenario. This building was built originally in 1855 (yes, even before me and 19 years after the Battle of the Alamo)). The owners will leave the concrete 1855 side walls (I think I will let them be totally shaded outside walls), gut the rest of the building, and rebuild a 5 story single residence (no, not one of the Trump kids).<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div id="yiv8403078121yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472772110889_7582"><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div id="yiv8403078121yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472772110889_7582"><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>SO..for the City of New York 2011 Energy Code (2014 doesn't take place until October, 2016), we use ASHRAE 90.1-2010.
