FAQs about EAp2 :

Our project has a large process load—75%. Despite our efforts to make an efficient HVAC design, the cost savings are minimal. What can we do to earn this prerequisite and be eligible for LEED certification? Is there any flexibility in how we model the p

California Projects using Title 24-2013

To comply with California codes we had to show compliance with Title 24-2013. This required us to use the proprietary program Energy Pro 6. Energy Pro 6 only models against Title 24-2013, and Ashrae 90.1-2010. v2009 requires either Title 24-2005 or ASHRAE 90.1-2007. Unfortunately there is no way to model these codes under Energy Pro 6. We would have to go back to Energy Pro-5 for ASHRAE 90.1-2007, which would require us to build a whole new model (There is no way to save back the model in energy pro). This would be very lengthy and time consuming to create a whole new model. My question is can we pursue the v4 credit as an alternate compliance path, which allows Title 24-1013, but still use point thresholds comparative to those in the v2009?

Title 24 2013 has been granted equivalency with 90.1-2010 - http://www.usgbc.org/content/10419 There is also an adjusted point threshold for LEED 2009 projects when applying these standards - http://www.usgbc.org/resources/ashrae-901-2010-adjusted-point-scale-leed-v2009-projects
