NC-2009 IDc1:Innovation in Design

Achieving EBOM credit as an ID point

Ive never tried to achieve an EBOM credit as an ID credit for NC BD+C. Has anyone has success achieving EBOM WEc1? How would a new construction project address the requirement - "The project must compile monthly and annual summaries of results for each subsystem metered."? Is this data compiled for a year then submitted to GBCI, or the owner states they simply will compile it? We are already putting in advanced water metering as a owner requirement. Thanks.

Hi Barbara, I have not pursued this particular EBOM credit for an NC ID credit, but I have achieved other EBOM credits in a similar situation. In terms of your question on the summaries - Minimum Program Requirement #6 requires that energy + water data is released to the GBCI for 5 years, so yes, the data would be submitted through that requirement. That beings said - I think what they're trying to get at here is that there's no point in putting in fancy metering if no one is looking at the data. Data should be collected and put into reports for building maintenance staff / other relevant folks to review on a regular basis (monthly and annually) for the life of the building. When submitting an EBOM credit as an NC ID credit, make sure to download the EBOM template from the LEED Online from the "Sample Forms Download" section. Fill it out as though you were documenting the credit for an EBOM project. You can make notes at the end of the template on what sections don't apply because it is an NC project (e.g. the Performance Period). Then upload it with all relevant documentation. (For some reason the reviewers require the uploading of the EBOM template now.) Hope that helps! Melissa
