My NREL (May2007) EPACT guidlines documents state for Table G3.1(6) Lighting:
Table G3.1(6) Lighting |
(f) Credit may be taken for the use of automatic controls for daylight utilization only if their operation is modeled in the energy simulation software.

I know in LEED evaluations you are allowed to take credit for timers & occupancy sensors by reducing density or schedule 10 or 15%. Can anyone verify what is applicable to an EPACT evaluation. Are you allowed the rduction per Appendix G for EPACT ? Or does this statement overule that? or has it been amended in any sortof way to allow 10% or 15% reduction for Epact?
