FAQs about EAp2 :

Do the required savings for this prerequisite (and credit) need to come only from building energy, or also process loads?

Our project doesn't have enough energy savings to earn the prerequisite. Can we get there by incorporating onsite renewables?

Our proposed design has insulation R-values that are below those prescribed by ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Can we still meet the prerequisite?

NC-v4 EAp2:Minimum energy performance

Campus project

Hi all,

We are working on a campus project which consists of two separate buildings which, however, do share a common underground floor.

How should we approach the energy model in this case? Are we allowed to split this underground floor and assign a portion of it to each one of the two buildings based on the floor area? If so, how are we supposed to justify this for the Project submission to GBCI?

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Nikos

If these are two separate LEED submissions you would just need to explain how you have separated them. It should make sense from a systems perspective as well as thermodynamically.
