Dear all
I have one question: when proposed building has no heating system, such as in HongKong, the weather is hot, it?s not necessary to design heating system in winter.
While Appendix G table G3.1 No.10 says: ?c. Where no heating system exists or no heating system has been specified, the heating system classification shall be assumed to be electric, and the system characteristics shall be identical to the system modeled in the baseline building design.?
Should it be explained as such: if the building is to design heating system later, the heating system should be electric, but not in allusion to HongKong?s instance. Therefore when there?s no necessary to design heating system in proposed building, the two models (proposed and baseline ) can be modeled without heating system, am I right?
Thanks a lot.
