A new retail project has a baseline building energy cost of $87,256. The proposed building energy cost is $69,744. What is the default process energy cost of the building?
A: $17,436
B: $21,814
C: $17,512
D: $4,378

参考答案: B

本题解释:
Notes:
Reference: Energy And Atmosphere Prerequisite 2 Minimum Energy Performance, Requirements
Process energy is used in the whole building energy simulation to determine the annual energy cost calculated for a proposed design.
By default the value is 25% of the total energy cost for the baseline building. A value less than 25% can be used if documentation can be
provided.
$87,256 baseline X 25% = $21,814
