Within the sections of the standard, there are some variations to this. For code compliance there is Chapter 11, which compares an energy model for your building to an energy model for a barely compliant building with the same HVAC system and in the 2016 edition an Appendix G path was added that compares an energy model of your building against a baseline model based on the 2004 edition of Standard 90.1 and requires lower energy consumption that varies depending on the building type. Performance path: A proposed building design is demonstrated (through building performance simulation) to use less energy than a baseline building built to ASHRAE 90.1 specifications. Prescriptive path: All components of the building meet the minimum standards specified by ASHRAE 90.1.In general, there are two means, or paths for building designers to comply with ASHRAE 90.1: 2 Status as an energy code and industry standard.
