Estimated annual energy consumption:
HVAC&R system
Where a significant portion (>80%) of a project space in a new or an
existing commercial building (an office, retails shop, restaurant etc.),
is served by an independent central plant equipment (e.g. chiller plant
controlled by the landlord and not by the Applicant), the simulation
model will need to cover only the air-side air-conditioning system
serving the project space, and the building envelop characteristics will
be as described in
Appendix 9.1 .If the project space is served by a unitary air-conditioning system (e.g.
VRF system or split type air conditioning unit controlled by the
Applicant), the simulation model will need to cover the entire air-
conditioning installation, and the building envelop characteristics will
be as described in
Appendix 9.1 .Lighting system
The lighting power densities and lighting controls will be ascertained
from the lighting installation designs.
Documentation
Credit(s) shall be achieved when the Applicant provides the
