DOCUMENTATION

Project types	Options	Paths	Documentation
New Construction and Core and Shell	All		Documentation of all heating, service water heating, solar water heating, and process heating equipment within the project. Include information on the energy source, equipment quantity, and the capacity and efficiency for each piece of equipment (equipment cutsheets or schedules).
New Construction and Core and Shell	All		Description of emergency support and on-site generation equipment, including how it is used on site. Include an estimated annual run-time for any combustion equipment.
New Construction and Core and Shell	All		Document emergency support systems and on-site generation equipment including system type, fuel source, and capacity.
New Construction and Core and Shell	All		Documentation that the project is subject to local code that requires full electrification down to 20 deg F or lower. Provide relevant code language and applicability (if applicable).
New Construction and Core and Shell	All		Weighted average COP calculation, as applicable for SWH and Space heating. Projects may determine weighted average COP using a streamlined method, rated capacities, or energy simulation.
New Construction and Core and Shell	Option 1		Narrative or Mechanical drawings showing that systems used for heating, SHW, and cooking and other process loads are not fueled by onsite combustion.
New Construction	Option 2	All	Sequence of Operations for hybrid electric/non-electric systems and evidence that electric equipment (electric mode) can meet space heating, SHW, and process heating loads >20F (as applicable). Evidence may include equipment capacities and accompanying design load calculations, or energy simulation reports, or other.
New Construction	Option 2	All	For projects attempting no on-site combustion except at low temperatures, document how the applicable systems can operate without on-site combustion at outside air temperatures above 20°F (-6.5 °C).
New Construction	Option 2	Path 1	Total building space heating load at OA Temp 20*F or below.
New Construction	Option 2	Path 1	Provide a description of the basis of analysis for space heating loads.
New Construction	Option 2	Path 1	Sequence of operations for all space heating equipment.
New Construction	Option 2	Path 2	Sequence of operations for all service water heating equipment.
New Construction	Option 2	Path 2	Sequence of operations for all solar water heating equipment.
