@agerman, previous direction I have received from the development team was to model a baseline cooling system so that you aren't claiming any efficiency in cooling. This obviously isn't very simple to do in CBECC-Com without a true autosizing function for the proposed model because this brings in so many theoretical unknowns - sizing chiller may affect where it operates on it's part load curve, how many unmet hours is reasonable because often you'll see the baseline also has some unmet hours, envelope performance, etc. It seems what you're supposed to do is make an "honest" attempt to not claim efficiency for cooling.
