Sec. 434.508  Determination of the design energy consumption and design 
energy cost.

    508.1 The Design Energy Consumption shall be calculated by modeling 
the Proposed Design using the same methods, assumptions, climate data, 
and simulation tool as were used to establish the Energy Cost Budget, 
except as explicitly stated in 509 through 534. The Design Energy Cost 
shall be calculated per Equation 508.1.

Based on:


DECOSm = DECONml x ECOSml +. . .+ 
DECONmi x ECOSmi (Equation 508.1.2)

Where:

DECOS = The annual Design Energy Cost
DECOSm = The monthly Design Energy Cost
DECONmi = The monthly Design Energy Consumption of the 
ith type of energy
ECOSmi = The monthly Energy Cost per unit of the 
ith type of energy

    The DECONmi shall be calculated from the first day 
through the last day of the month, inclusive.
