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?

Is there any new guidance or published changes for modeling district energy loops in LEED v4? 90.1-2010 has expanded G3.1.1.1 and added G3.1.1.2-4, which is similar to how the LEED v2009 district energy guide says to model option 1. Does this mean district energy modeling option 2 is not available in LEED v4?

The DES modeling protocol for LEED v4 has been incorporated into the Reference Guide. See Further Explanation and then Project Type Variations for details.
