The energy analysis and supporting documentation shall be prepared
and certified by a qualified professional person. The submission for
compliance and the computer software to be used shall make reference
to the latest
Building Energy Code (BEC)or ASHRAE Standard 90.1-
2007.
When the selected simulation program cannot adequately model a
design (Note: For example: passive design with significant contribution to
the reduction of CO
2
emissions), material, or device, the rating authority
may approve an exceptional calculation method to demonstrate above-
standard performance. The exceptional calculation shall make reference
to Section A3.4 of Code of Practice for Energy Efficiency of Building
Services Installation - 2012 Edition [1] and/or Appendix G2.5 of ASHRAE
90.1–2007[2] and/or Appendix D of the Advanced Energy Modelling for
LEED – Technical Manual v1.0 (September 2011 Edition)[3].
