... mandate requires the building to exceed an ASHRAE 90.1-2004 baseline by at least 30%. Analysis however was carried out using the latest 2007 version, due to its relevance to LEED, energy code etc. An attempt to set a more absolute numerical target using the ‘public assembly’ building type from the CBECS 2003 da tabase (1) yielded 26.4 kBtu/ft 2 /year, see Figure 2 below. Both these targets were considered simultaneously. The ...
