ASHRAE 90.1-2007 Section 11.... "Energy Cost Method"?

Looking to use ASHRAE 90.1 IECC compliance path to bypass requirement of airside economizers per ME request.

I believe that what I need to be looking into to use the ASHRAE 90.1-2007 compliance path that will ultimately get our engineer away from the airside economizer is near the back of 90.1, Section 11 "Energy Cost Method" but not sure. Do I need to be looking elsewhere? Could the ASHRAE specific prescriptive path (or total building performance method) get him there as well..... maybe because an older code (ASHRAE 2007 vs IECC 2009). What else could I be missing?

If we choose to go ASHRAE 90.1 to give our engineer what he requests, what are we up against?
Any specific coordination going to be required with/ between our engineering consultants?
Does taking this approach lend itself to comcheck with the separate disciplines using their separate analysis?

Anyone familiar with this approach?
