Alongside these baseline simulations, the input Model is also simulated to get the energy performance of the proposed building. The recipe even performs an initial EnergyPlus sizing run on the baseline model to ensure that all HVAC equipment efficiencies align with the 90.1 standard.Īfter the creation of the baseline model, the recipe executes an annual EnergyPlus simulation, performing 4 separate simulations of the baseline model in parallel for each of the 4 cardinal directions per the Appendix G specification. This includes adjusting the geometry, constructions, lighting, HVAC, SHW, and removing any clearly-defined energy conservation measures like daylight controls.
Just as the name of the recipe implies, it generates a baseline Model (as a HBJSON) from the input Model, which is consistent with ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G 2016 (and later). Appendix G Performance RecipeĪfter many of you have asked us for it, we have finally published a recipe to Pollination that can estimate the number of LEED “Optimize Energy Performance” credits that a particular model can achieve! The recipe is called Appendix G Performance and you can find it here on the Pollination platform or by searching for available recipes with the PO Setup Runs component.
We’re happy to announce a couple of new features across the Pollination ecosystem, which are complementary to one another.
