Baseline Rules

The baseline building is modeled with a condenser heat recovery system for service water heating, when all of the following conditions are true:

  • The building operates 24 hours per day.
  • The total installed heat rejection capacity of the water cooled system exceeds 6,000,000 Btu/h.
  • The design service hot water load is greater than 1,000,000 Btu/h.

The required heat recovery system for the baseline building, shall have the capacity to provide the smaller of:

  • 60% of the peak heat rejection load at design conditions, or
  • Preheat of the peak service hot water draw to 85°F

If the simulation software is not capable of modeling the requirements described, the requirement for providing such a system in the proposed building shall be met as a prescriptive requirement and heat recovery shall not be modeled in the baseline or proposed building designs.
