Climatic Design, LLC prepared a whole-building energy model and preliminary energy analysis for The Avondale. The effort of this energy model was to meet Performance-based compliance of IgCC-2015 and demonstrate zEPI of 43 or less and the required CO\u2082\u0435 pdp for a new multifamily building. Multiple Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) were modeled to identify most suitable design decisions. With the execution of the recommended ECMs, the proposed design would meet Minimum Energy Performance required by IgCC\/ASHRAE energy modeling protocol. The facility would be approximately 20% more energy efficient than the ASHRAE 90.1-2016 reference model with zEPI of 41.6. In addition, CO\u2082 emission of the proposed model is much lower than the baseline reference model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
