Intent 1:
To limit the probability that
- the heating capacities of the service water heating
equipment of the reference building will not match the ratio of the
service water heating equipment capacity allocation of the proposed
building, and
- the operating schedule, priority of use, and other operational
characteristics will not match those for the energy types used in
the proposed building.
This is to limit the probability of
inaccuracy of the model, which could lead to overestimation of the
energy used by the reference building or underestimation of the energy
used by the proposed building, which could lead to excessive use of
energy, which could lead to an unacceptable effect on the environment.
