Renovation Projects Provide the same information requested for new projects, and also describe the existing facility and its existing energy systems. Summary of Utility Assistance Briefly describe any technical or financial aid to improve the project's energy efficiency that may be available from natural gas and electric utilities. The baseline building component values shall be the prescriptive values. Begin by documenting these component values. When component values are not provided by the prescriptive, the baseline values will come from the system with the lowest first cost acceptable to the owner.
Assumptions Describe the modeling program to be used and any input assumptions.
Economic Assumptions Include a copy of the current utility rate schedules. Indicate if there are any qualifications that must be met before the project can be served under this rate schedule. Building Envelope Begin by describing the prescriptive envelope, followed by the other alternatives analyzed. Show typical sections and U-value calculation for all construction types. If the baseline does not meet or exceed prescriptive standards, provide this information also for each alternative analyzed.
