Ask the modeling consultant to develop an annual energy-use breakdown—in order to pick the “fattest” targets for energy reduction. A typical energy-use breakdown required for LEED submission and ASHRAE protocol includes:
- lighting;
- space heating;
- space cooling;
- domestic hot water;
- additional installed heat recovery, refrigeration, or heat-rejection systems;
- ventilation fans and auxiliary pumps;
- and equipment and plug loads.
