ASHRAE 90.1-2007 - VRV

Dear all,

Is there any requirement for the COP of VRV systems in ASHRAE 90.1-2007?

I can't find that! If there is not, shall I assume that the baseline and
the proposed design for LEED purposes have the same COP?

Thanks!

Refer to the attached Documents. For LEED you can use the actual COP of
the unit.

At the moment there is not. There will be a 90.1 minimum efficiency requirement in the near future however.

For LEED purposes you do not need to model a VRV system. You will model the appendix G Table G3.1.1A system type and the associated efficiency in 90.1 chapter 6.
