Revision history [back]

It has been by chance that I looked at both the RP-1651 and the AEDG report for hospitals to find out that baseline models being used in two studies are different for hospitals. That being said, I am looking at a Zone 2B hospital and the EUI make up is completely different in these two studies, largely due to different massings used I believe!

Does anyone know where I can find the data/idf files behind the Advanced Energy Design Guides and how/why these massings are different than DOE Benchmark models?

I am talking about 120 versus 250 EUI!
