Can we please have a ASHRAE 90.1 ECB/IECC C407 sector?

ECB is a huge part of code/permit compliance. Principles of doing baseline systems are very different from Appendix G.

Can we please have a ECB sector here?

Hi Allen,

ECB is selectable as a route at start of our ASHRAE 90.1 PRM workflows for the 2010 and 2013 standards and this will then enable different options and rules for report generation (more of that to come in VE 2018 hopefully) and additionally baseline system selection rules & guidance

sorry reading further - you mean a new section on this forum?

Phil,

Thanks for replying. Yes, I heard the news that you are adding 2013 ECB to the workflow and ECB reporting, which is great!

And yes, can we have a sector here in this forum or a topic thread? I guess ASHRAE ECB/IECC C407 will be more popular when energy modelers realize it's the method for most U.S. permitting models.

Thanks much,
Allen
