I just received a comment on my energy model regarding the BEPS, BEPU & LEED Template as below:
"The energy use values reported in Tables EAp2-4 and EAp2-5 of the form are inconsistent with the simulation output BEPU reports and the cost values reported in Table EAp2-7 of the form are inconsistent with the values shown in the Monthly Utility Bill simulation output reports. Please confirm the values entered in the form and revise as necessary. Ensure all values are consistent between the form and simulation documentation."
After more research I found out that my inputs from BEPU reports are correct on the LEED template but in the end the template calculates the MMBtu/year with an error of 0.25 % when comparing the template with the BEPS which is carried on to the cost. Now, the difference is just a couple dollars and is insignificant for the savings between the models but the reviewer has a problem with this. I am thinking to just give an explanation to what I discovered with the LEED template.
Did you guys have this kind of problem before?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you.
